most of the stories are superb 
but a couple aren't Witty and realistic, with lots of unusual ideas. Confused mix of styles that doesn't really work. Interesting to read about something new. Could have expanded on the thriller side more Funny, surreal Confusing, poor plot Nice Novel - without the horror Not much horror, cheezy, didnt live upto my expectations. Beautifully Written, Great Characterisation, Achingly Funny None for meThe Ship Who Sang - Anne McCaffrey
well written characterisations, interesting plot, unique concept presentation, well imagined world s none
The Jinx - Theophile Gautier
An intriguing, long-forgotten tragedy of superstitions in an age of reason. Plot is straightforward and predictable for the most part, and descriptions a little indulgent.
Already Dead - Charlie Huston
Great concept, edgy sci fi Weaker central plot, confusing dialogue
Hush Little Chick - Debi Gliori
gentle story about how a chick hatches none
Charlotte's Bridge - David L. Spruance
A surprisingly good read - calm but with an undertone of excitement, good descriptions by the author Possibly the most expensive paperback I own!

Matt Scudder, well written Linear story, too obvious
The Wild Party (Vocal Selections) - Andrew Lippa
Music - Lippa, Andrew

Compelling story, great characters None for me
