[Girlystevedave]

Never did get around to finishing this one.

What, a 1 for The Gingerbread Girl? I so love that novella! Just because of that this gets a 4.5 from me.

: sighs :
I had read every word of that novella before.
Worst of all, I had read it in women's magazines while waiting in the dentist's office.

A couple of decent stories but a few clunkers as well.

That comes out to about a 2.6. So I’ll round it up to a 3.

That actually kinda surprises me. I thought I liked this book a little better than that.

Harvey's Dream 1
Ayana 1

bears are happy they are not alone

[divemaster]

I wasn't all that impressed. Only one 4-star story in the bunch (on my 1-4 scale). Conversely, only one 1-star stinker. So a lot of 2s (meh) and 3s (good).

Willa 2
The Gingerbread Girl 3
Harvey's Dream 2
Rest Stop 2
Stationary Bike 1
The Things They Left Behind 3
Graduation Afternoon 2
N. 4
The Cat from Hell 3
The New York Times at Special Bargain Rates 2
Mute 2
Ayana 3
A Very Tight Place 3

Averages to 2.46 out of 4. That extrapolates to about 3.1 out of 5.

So, vote = 3. Too many "meh" stories to bump it up any.

(But I actually liked it...)

Gave this one a three. Just kinda avg, and I don't even fully remember all the stories.

[Andrew Campbell]

3.5. It was an uneven collection.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Give it a 3. Lots of mediocre stories. But at least 3 very good ones.
Willa
Mute
A very tight place.

[dnemec]

Agree with all of the above. Some great stories, but some very unmemorable ones too. I gave it a 3 as well.
