3.0
It's very hard to review a book of short stories by so many different authors. Some of them were excellent, some of them were ok, and others were terrible. Something that was particularly maddening was the excerpts some authors chose to provide instead of short stories. With one exception, I was very annoyed/angered by the whole presentation of random excerpts of stories. They don't tell a complete story and only exist to try and get you to purchase a novel. I made note of those authors so that I'd never accidentally buy anything from them because I find that kind of marketing scummy.
I did pick up a few authors who I'd like to read more of too.
Overall, I felt like my time investment wasn't really rewarded with a complete experience. I'd have a hard time recommending anyone read this book cover to cover, but skipping through and reading a few select stories could be ok.
