    <![CDATA[The Seattle Times said of Angry Candy: &quot;Ellison's stories rattle the bars of complacency that people put around their souls . . . Razor sharp . . . piercingly profound.&quot; Once again, Ellison's writing defies all labels. These seventeen stories by a modern master are an &quot;assembled artifact&quot; of anger and faith - as bittersweet as a&quot;jalapeno-laced cinnamon bear.&quot; The sixteen stories collected here are spread over the farthest stretches of time and space, but  even the bleakest of them is warmed by a passionate faith in the endurance of life and its ultimate possibilities.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I've finally finished!  I enjoyed reading about Harlan Ellison in various sources on the internets more than I enjoyed this collection of short stories.  He's a very prolific author and quite a feisty character.  This is the first book of his that I've read, and I'm not sure why it didn't hold my at...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43299169">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ellison is one fucked-up cat.<br/>I love him.<br/><br/>Angry Candy is a series of topical short stories that carry an emotional wallop like a sledgehammer to the soul. Angry Candy was my introduction to him, and while it isn't my favorite of his, it stands out as an excellent anthology.<br/>]]></body>
