don't really know what to do about this one. It contains:

1. One story that I consider King's best ever (All That You Love Will Be Carried Away)
2. One story I adore (Lunch at the Gotham Café)
3. One story I love (That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French)

and the rest I either moderately liked or was totally unimpressed by

[mae]

I'd say go with a 5 or a 4. Flip for it.

Nice strong collection. Not up there with Night Shift, and maybe just a tad below Skeleton Crew, but certainly much better than Nightmares and Dreamscapes. 4 from me.

Look to the Haven Fund Raiser.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Had to go with a 4.
Lunch at Gotham Cafe
Autopsy Room 4
Riding the Bullet
Road Virus Heads North
Man in the Black Suit
1408
These are my favs, in no particular order. Especially liked Lunch at Gotham and Man in Black Suit though.

Dont really remember All that you love very well, might have to go back and do some selective reading.
I find that with collections, I go through each story so fast that they often don't make a lasting impression.

My fave of these stories is of course Little Sisters. With That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French at second. The others are good as well.

[Garrell]

Man In The Black Suit was just downright creepy, Autopsy Room was comical. 2 of my favorite short stories by him.
4 because the rest was about 4s.

[Shannon]

A 3 for me. Comes out to a 3.14, so I rounded down. I rememer the stories, but a lot of them seemed like "King Filler", good but it's like he wasn't trying.

"The Man In The Black Suit" - 4
"All That You Love Will Be Carried Away" - 4
"The Death Of Jack Hamilton" - 4
