Quotes
There is something about Resnick’s style that makes many of his books, and this one in particular, just simply “easy to read”…Maybe it’s simplicity, maybe it’s clarity, maybe it’s “memorability”, whatever that is. But whatever it is, it’s there, and it makes for great entertainment.
Midwest Book Review
Amusing and witty, with an agreeably ironic edge.
Kirkus Reviews
Mike Resnick has never failed to deliver a good, satisfying read and can always be counted on to serve up some good food for thought. The writing is alive and contemporary, although there are several inside SF references to delight experienced readers. The book can be read in a couple of sittings or savored slowly, tale by tale.
