Really, Jean? I felt this was a very strong collection. Definitely a five.
Fair Extension, admittedly, was the weaker one, but still a fun read. The other three were amazing. 1922, Big Driver, and especially A Good Marriage.
4, I really enjoyed it, but not quite a 5 for me.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
5, my favorite collection from him. Big Driver was so powerful.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
1922 is really the only one I remember liking. Still gave it a 5, solid collection.
meh, 2 didn't care for this one

"Go your way, I'll take the long way 'round. Ill find my own way down, as I should." Ben Howard
Fair Extension = 2
1922 = 3
Big Driver = 5
A Good Marriage = 5
That rounds up to 4.
I gave it a 3. It was okay, but none of the stories were overly memorable or stood out as excellent to me.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
Never read.Oh wait, I read "Fair Extension" in an airport once, it wasn't that great.
The others are much better. You should finish it sometime Shannon.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
My favorite was "1922" -- I haven't felt so bad for a long time. Good old fashioned fear and depression. "Fair Extension" was great; really makes you think. Actually, all these share common themes. You know, evil is relative; that is to say, it's defined by doing harm to another. This collection is all about the nature of such relationships. Horror, vengeance, and existentialism.
what did you give it?

Never read, although I keep meaning to.
I thought Full Dark No Stars was good, but not worth a five.
4, Good Marriage was fantastic, the others were good.

meh, average.
1922 started strong, but ended quite weak. I did like Big Driver, but not enought to rescue the whole thing
The poll has closed. Full Dark, No Stars has earned a FAS (final average score) of 3.923076923 or 78.46%, placing 3rd in this bracket. It will not be moving on to Round 2.
This was very close. FDNS missed displacing Under the Dome from the runner-up position by just under 0.04 points.
