Recensioni
this ebook was won as part of the May 2012 batch from Librarything's Early Reviewers, it consists of a 7 short stories, which (judging by the end notes) have been previously published elsewhere.
Occurring in every story, Smeds does seem to like using the word "hiccuped" which I suspect he nor his editor has noticed, probably because the stories have been written over a longer period that if written specifically for this publication. However, that's just a minor sidetrack.
Each story has a female protagonist, finding themselves in unexpected situations, from the girl who (to get themselves being sold off to pay debts) becomes pregnant by her dream lover; to the girl who travels the world with her uncle who is in possession of a magical book that scribes their lives and thoughts, with always the temptation to find out how it ends.
I doubt that any of the stories would translate into a full length story - i think they are all pitched at the right length and end just at the right time. Not usually a short story fan but think these were most enjoyable… (altro)

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.At the time I had received this I wasn't really into science fiction. I didn't finish the book entirely but revisited it a few years later and tried again when my love of scifi and cyberpunk genres grew. The ones I liked included Suicidal Tendencies, The Cookie Jar, Fearless, and Evaporation. Although there is a fair bit of dreary in a lot of these takes on the future, Smeds still manages to add nuggets of hope.
