Tremendous fun, imo. Now, the only movie here that I've ever seen is *2001* but there's enough discussion, and enough still photos, that I have a sense of what the movie is like compared to the story. And of course the stories are better, richer, more thoughtful. Very nice chronologically arranged sampling. I have no doubt that fans of both classic SF movies and short stories would enjoy this book.

I do have to warn you - A Boy and his Dog (last story of the book) has a very high Yuck Factor and may not actually be that rewarding - I wish I'd skipped it. But I agree with the editor; the last line of the movie does *not* fit the story.
