Great book!

2.5

sorry. I snored through it, except the first novella which I am not exactly crazy about, either (would have given it a four minus)

[divemaster]

Overall a good book. My breakdown (based on my 1-4 scale):

Low Men in Yellow Coats 4
Hearts in Atlantis 3 (and close to 4)
Blind Willie 3
Why We're in Vietnam 2
Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling 2

So, 1 excellent, 2 very good, and 2 so-so to good.

Overall, transposes to "4" on the 5-point scale, mainly on the strength of the first 2 stories.

I’m probably alone in this thinking but this is my absolute favorite SK book.

Loved this book

2. Didnt like it at after the first story. I literally remember almost nothing about the rest of the stories.

3 from me. There were some really nice, touching moments but there were parts that bored me to tears.

4.5. Enjoyed this one a lot, and have gone back to re-read it.

Surprising to see this one all over the place.

Very unexpected showing by this book, this is its lowest score ever. In all three previous tournaments it moved on to Round 2 and this time it has very little chance.

damn missed voting on this one. I would have been a 4.5
