review 1: This was a really interesting anthology, filled with extremely creative stories of travel between worlds, dimensions, universes. I really enjoyed most of the stories, and chose to savor the reading over several months. Different stories explored different aspects of how the worlds were different. One I particularly liked, "The Goat Variations," dealt with George W. Bush in various worlds at the moment of reading the goat story on 9/11. Overall a fun, if long, read.
review 2: I bought this book on the recommendation of a critic in the local paper. After finishing it, I wonder if the critic actually read it. Of the thirty short stories in the anthology, there were only a couple that I felt were worth the trouble to read, and while those were pretty good, they h... moreardly made this book worthwhile. A couple of the best were nearly fifty years old, which makes me wonder why the editor couldn't find more really good stories about "other worlds." Maybe the short story has become a lost art. If this is a sample of the best, I'd say so. less
