Reviews

[Janice Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

The short stories are well written and generally amusing, but I couldn't really relate to most of the characters. I can't fault the writing but think it was written with more of a male viewpoint. The title story is an elaborate farce, with the main character apparently irresistible to women as well as to his late (male) friend who unsuccessfully pursued him.

[Joe · Rating 3 out of 5]

A short tale, written in 1960. Considering language as history and concerning an egg. This has the tones of the treasure adventures of very early spec fiction that always seem feature an antagonist student or nephew or the like in the race against our hero. Good finish to this one.
