Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

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.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
bears are happy they are not alone

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).

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.

Gave this one a three. Just kinda avg, and I don't even fully remember all the stories.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
3.5. It was an uneven collection.
Give it a 3. Lots of mediocre stories. But at least 3 very good ones.

A very tight place.

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