This was better than I expected - well written, interesting mix of mystery and moral tale. I knew the solution, of course, but the explanation was unexpected and interesting.

The Bottle Imp I'd never heard if before. It wasn't ground breaking, but it was good, almost like a Hollywood blockbuster. It doesn't really sur ...more
