I found this collection of stories to be rather boring mostly. They were mostly too short or too rushed. Twenty-six stories in a little under four hundred pages is a small window for each story. A large story of which was taken up by a story I found disappointing from Orson Scott Card. I found Neil Gaiman's story 'Chivaly' to be very good as well as a few other stories. Out of them all though only a handful really stood out.
