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.

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.

Instinct isn't always right

Sure glad I gave it a second listen. The first time, I was distracted and as a result, underwhelmed. Second time around, I paid attention and woohoo! Twists everywhere and trust me, you know NOTHING for certain. Definitely recommend

Highly recommended overall.
