review 1: It's obviously hard to make a composite score for a book of short stories from various authors, but overall I thought this was quite an enjoyable read. My favorites were "Ponies" (who knew a four page story could be so chilling??) "Arvies," "The Green Book" and "The Lady who Plucked Flowers Beneath the Queen's Window." A few of them, like "The Sultan of the Clouds" were a little disappointing and some, like "Blackout/All Clear were likely not given justice because they were excerpted from a larger work. Overall, an excellent read for anyone looking to stay up with what is currently happening in the speculative fiction scene.
review 2: I have never followed the Nebulas, so it was interesting to read through this years' field. As might be expected, I liked some o... moref the stories and excerpts quite a lot, and others left me completely cold. The overall quality was of course high, though, and if you like SF short stories at all, this is definitely worth a read. I prefer Dozois's Year's Best in general, but this represents a wider range of tastes. less
