review 1: What a tome! It's hard to rate a collection of stories for obvious reasons, but let me just say that some of the stories were great, others, not so much. The final story was intolerably long. I didn't like it at all. In fact, with 7 pages to go, I returned it to the library, because I realized I just didn't care how it ended. So, for a book almost 1000 pages long, while some stories were brilliant - they were eclipsed by that last entry - which I can't even remember the name of - so that's a shame.
review 2: I would like to be honest. I have failed to complete this book despite sticking to/at it for months (ages?), and yet I am so sick of finding it grinning at me like a hideous laughing Buddha statue whenever I check-in at Goodreads, that I decided to mark it ... moreas read. However, I have a justification handy. This tome is like OED, and that book, as everyone would agree, can't be COMPLETED, despite being full of riveting as well as important stuff. Therefore, using that analogy, I am stuffing the tome to the shelf harbouring dictionaries, with the hope of getting to COMPLETE it sometime in the future. Highly Recommended, anyway. less
