"The stories in this collection run the gamut from Neal Gaiman's The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury to Jim Butcher's hilarious Big Foot on Campus, touching on points in between. I won't even attempt to review every story here so I'll focus on what I consider to be the true gems in this collection. The ...
Sometimes fiction is better for revealing truth. This novel enables Bruchac to tell much of the story of the pacific theater during WWII through the eyes of one character, now retelling the events to his grandchildren. I'm rather grateful for the framing device, it helps mute the horror somewhat. I...
No, I'm sorry, I'm not going to finish this.I really, really don't like the writing style.And I hate that I can't quite articulate why. There's nothing wrong with it, it's not quite jarring, it's certainly not offensive. It's just really, really not working for me. It's quite heavy on the worldbuild...
Going into this novel, I was expecting something quite different from what I received (to put it nicely). Joseph Bruchac does create nicely developed monsters, but that's all that he creates that I could actually appreciate. But although I didn't really enjoy this book, I think others will since it'...

I loved getting to know each other more personally that I ever would. As the reader, you get into the depths of who the author was and who they became. Some struggled harder than others. Reading each story is unique and totally different style of writing. I didn't read all of the authors stories onl...
