Lovely collection of people, I love every single person featured. I also really liked the comic things in between.

I'm a geek but I didn't find myself really enjoying this, it was meh and mediocre with no peaks.

I've actually only read John Green's story and looked at some of the comics..I will read the whole thing eventually, though.

Some were better than others (as often happens with collections) and this really defines "geek" broadly from art geek, to sci fi geek to band geek etc. Most were humorous to varying degrees. It was a great way to pass small amounts of time - nice shorts.

I was slow to reading this book because it's stories are separated into small novels. As someone who has attended a lot of cons in her lifetime and enjoys the "geek/nerdy" side of things, I found a lot of these stories to be cute and thoroughly enjoyable! I highly suggest this to anyone who als0 is interested in these authors, but is unsure if they'll enjoy their works.

As a former band and drama geek, it was a joy to read these stories of other geeks and their obsessions. From Dungeons and Dragons and LARPing to drama and music to Comic-Con and online personalities, each author who contributed to this collection has something unique to add. Teens (and adults!) who have an obsession will enjoy discovering the many types of geeks out there and relishing the different ways that people enjoy their passions. While every story may not appeal to the reader, any geek is sure to find a story in the collection that resonates with them.

Two people, a briefcase full of cash, a bottle of vodka, two guns and a pair of handcuffs in a private compartment on a speeding train. What happens? Well that all depends on the alignment of the two people, now, doesn't it? He even includes a grid. Awww. Like anyone reading this book needs an explanation of Lawful vs. Chaotic.

It wasn't a matter of connecting but rather understanding their feelings. I enjoyed more than 10 of these stories since they were pretty humorous and well written.
