levikap 's review for:

4.0

While I think “Story of your Life” is just about flawless, the others in this collection didn’t have the refinement or craft that those in Exhalation did. I still loved them though, and they gave me a lot to think about. “Understand” and “Seventy-Two Letters” in particular were so clever, but the latter I thought ended too soon. I was shocked it ended where it did, there was still so much in the world to talk about! These stories are meant to be read and re-read, discussed and dissected, and I look forward to recommending this book to others and talking to my friends about them.
