Review of "The Year's Best Science Fiction" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Ok, I finished the book. Having read it all the way through now I gave it three stars. Out of thirty stories about a dozen were amazing. When I say amazing, I mean that if I could have rated them by themselves I would have given them more than 5 stars. 6 of the stories were abysmal, and the rest were average to mediocre. While it seems like most of the book is ho-hum, the dozen stories that I liked were good enough to pull this one from the muck. I would still recommend this book to sci-fi lovers, but I would offer one piece of advise. If the story seems like its a dud early on, it probably is. You are better off skipping them and finding the gems. I wish I had known that in the beginning, it would have saved me some time.
