    <body><![CDATA[For the first time, I didn't read the whole collection of short stories. Instead, I skim-read until a story caught my eye and then I started from the point the story was interesting. My favorite story was about a benevolent society that experimented with serums that turned violent convicts into ape ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34920926">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good read-- while most good anthologies give you a fair balance of hit and miss, this one is decently topheavy with hits. Very fun, and an excellent variety of steampunk madness. You won't like them all, but you'll probably like enough to make it worth your $7.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Well, the first two stories suck and the third one is just OK.  Here's hoping it gets better.  Will take a while to read this one since it has been relegated to a &quot;car book.&quot;  In other words, it will get taken in to doctor's offices and such with me when I forget to bring a different book.]]></body>
