Wonderful stories :)

My favorites were the bored world and Annie's day. The Real Deal brought tears to my eyes.

Left me wanting more

Each of these short stories demonstrates Weir's incredible talent for creating complex characters and elaborate plots to connect them. In the few words of each short story Weir managed to add in plot twists that left me wanting to hear more of the story. I think any one of these could have easily been a novel, but they are also great in these bite sized chunks. The narrators.for this audiobook did a great job of bringing these tales to life.

A Nice set of Short Stories

Minor bugs in narration audio at one or two points.
Highly recommended overall.

Amazing. Thought-provoking and inspirational

My only problem with this audiobook, including stories and production, is that even after I listened the second time, I was still desperate for more. Many people write, myself included, and once again superb work has left me feeling, by comparison, like a no-name entity, one now scrambling to find more by the incredibly imaginative Mr. Weir. In my youth, Ray Bradbury was my hero. How delighted I am to find this new author.

Overall worthy of a listen

Some stories were better than others, but the lower limit was decent and the upper limit was really enjoyable. Overall, a collection worthy of a listen.

Enjoyable

It is so nice to hear great short stories! In our big worlds the art of the short story seems be lost but this book shows the power and enjoyment they can bring. Well done!

Entertaining

An entertaining little collection of tales with a twist. I really enjoyed several of these but one or two were a bit flat or, rather, the twist was unsatisfactory. Overall, I’m very glad to have heard them.
