Povestiri bizare

Maybe I've set my expectations wrong.

That is not to say that this was a bad book or a poorly written one, but most of the time the stories didn't do it for me. I found the ideas the stories are built upon intriguing, but I personally felt that they weren't exploited to their real potential. The stories started with a good premise that got lost in a fog on the way.

The last stories (which were also the longest) are the ones that I enjoyed the most and the ones that felt complete and had a satisfactory ending.


As an end note, I couldn't but wonder how some of these stories would have looked like in a Ted Chiang book.
