Funny and heart-breaking.

This book is a great intro to linguistics for non-linguists. It makes language theory both fascinating and fun!

Excellent horror story. Very imaginative!

Rockets versus Gravity is a book of short stories loosely tied together by a series of wedding rings, lost and found. As always, Richard Scarsbrook creates a bunch of quirky characters, including Stan and Sheila, the unhappy couple whose rings connect the stories, and teenage Clementine, whose name, like everything else in her life, is recycled. My favourite character was James, the wannabe rock star who always has the soundtrack of his life playing in his head.
The book is a quick read and I enjoyed it more on the second reading than I did on the first, understanding who the characters were and knowing how they would be connected. Some stories are hilarious and some are terribly sad, and, as in real life, not everything is resolved.

I have a story in this book, so I don't think I should review it. Just wanted to say that Heather Wood was the editor, not Ed Greenwood.
My favourite story was ‘The Black Dog' by Sam Agro.
