Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd by Cecil Castellucci, Holly Black

3.0

What I liked about this book (and most short story anthologies) is that I didn't feel bad skipping a story once I had started it. The purpose of this books was for each author to write a geeky story - or a story with geeky elements (drama, Star Trek, gaming, etc.) Some of the stories I loved and could completely relate to (Libba Bray's about Rocky Horror was fantastic). Others were at a level of geekdom that I just couldn't relate to (I've never seen a Star Trek episode in my life).

Overall, a good collection of stories with underdogs. It was humorous and real all at the same time.
