Review


It's a collection of short stories. Some of them are very good others not so much, but overall it's a good book. This is the best thing about collection of stories, even if you didn't like a few of them there are always some stories which you're bound to love.


I especially liked "Time" part of the book. All four stories in this second part are really well-written, and absolutely enjoyable. I think it's also because the author presented concept of 'time' in a very unique, interesting, and intriguing way. Starting few stories are a little too dark & gory for my taste but no less interesting. And last part is also good. All in all I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend to anyone who likes science fiction. Since it's not my preferred genre I don't have much to compare it with but I will say this.... few sci-fiction books that I've read and loved this one is definitely among them.
