3.0

I gave 3 out of 5 because I liked 11 out of 26 stories. Just like other anthologies, there were some great stories, some okay ones, and a few just terrible ones that didn't make sense or fell into the trap of "I don't know how to end this so this will be the end in what feels like the middle of the story" problem. I've seen that problem a lot with movies as well. If it's available and you have time, read it. If not, I wouldn't recommend running out to get it as soon as possible.
