See my review of "Wildsmith". ( )

Seriously mediocre. The front cover said it was going to be funny, but I don't think I laughed once. I'm pretty sure I saw the parts where I thought it was supposed to be funny, but they didn't really work. I guess this is what happens when you buy books you've never heard, by authors you've never heard of, just because they look old and are sitting on the shelves of your not-that-great small-town bookstore.

I was going to give it two stars and say, "The plot was mildly compelling." Then I thought about it and realized that it wasn't at all -- guy who we don't know or care about disappears, guy we don't care about sets out to find him? Turns out there's some government plot happening? Bleh.

In short: no memorable characters, boring plot, not funny. The only thing I can say for it is that I didn't see any grammatical or spelling errors. ( )

A not very funny anthology. There was supposed to be a story by Robert Sheckley in there, but it seems to have been another year of this short-lived effort. ( )
