"In this long-awaited collection, Hopkinson continues to expand the boundaries of culture and imagination. Whether she is retelling The Tempest as a new Caribbean myth, filling a shopping mall with unfulfilled ghosts, or herding chickens that occasionally breathe fire, Hopkinson continues to create bold fiction that transcends boundaries and borders."--Back cover.

Falling in Love with Hominids, a collection of eighteen short stories by award-winning author Nalo Hopkinson, contains some wonderful, imaginative fiction. There were a couple of (really short) stories that didn't work for me at all, but other than that, there was something compelling about the rest even if I didn't love a story. My very favorites were the creepiest two, “Blushing” and “The Easthound,” and one of the more lighthearted selections, “Emily Breakfast” (about a search for a missing fire-breathing chicken!).
3 1/2 stars - liked it (and loved some stories!)

The second half of the collection wasn't as good as the first but overall, this was a very good collection.
Emily Breakfast totally stole my heart. :)
