review 1: This collection of short stories from this wonderful eclectic mix of authors is a pleasure best enjoyed with a nice tall drink of choice and perhaps a special brownie... My favorite of the lot was the very first story by Lee Child. I also found very interesting the last section of stories in the group of "Good and Bad Medicine" regarding the medical uses of marijuana. This collection was not nearly as terrifying overall as the Heroin Chronicles that I reviewed earlier. Its a kinder, gentler, laid back vibe suiting its subject matter. I can't wait to get my hands on the Cocaine Chronicles and the Speed Chronicles.
review 2: This is a collection of short works centered around the marijuana debates. While the list of contributors is stunning, the work is uneven at... more best. Kicking off with possibly the hottest author going right now, Lee Child, one would think that you're off to a great start. Not so much. Child's piece is short, and thanks to a rather superfluous statement in the introduction, the outcome is clear from the first sentence. So what is supposed to be a twisty mystery, ends up being a couple of pages of slogging to the inevitable conclusion. Some of the stories are better, some worse. The nonfiction pieces scattered through are somewhat better. Really just left e feeling kind of sad. less
