Comments: I didn’t enjoy this as much as I expected I would. Aside from the cover (essentially a collage featuring all the prestigious awards and recognitions Nelson’s been given) and the fact that Nelson is a big-name author, Some Fun, a collection of short stories and a novella, is a book that I tagged some time ago and had on my reading list for a while.
I’ll admit that every story had parts that I enjoyed, but overall, I wasn’t really impressed. (Helped by this collection and others, I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that maybe I don’t actually like stories–I just like reading them. (It makes sense to me.))
“Eminent Domain” was okay, and–even though I didn’t particularly like the ending–”Flesh Tone” was my favorite.
