They Shall Not Grow Old - 3.5 Stars
Decent story from Roald Dahl. I thought it was building to something bigger, but didn't quite make it there. Very interesting story, though. One to make you think.

Falling - 3.5 Stars
A poem based on a real life situation where a flight attendant was sucked out of a plane. Interesting, but kind of an odd poetic structure. Still pretty good!

A very good story from the King. Fascinating "What If" scenario - not scary, but thought provoking.

Whodunnit in the air. Poirot fans will be pleased.

Zombies on a Plane - 3.5 Stars
Not a bad little story, but kind of a misleading title. If you are looking for a showdown between zombies and people on an aircraft, you will not find it here . . . maybe if there was a sequel, but not in this one.

The Flying Machine - 5 Stars
Bradbury never needs many pages or many words to tell a great and impactful short story. He is a short story master! This is a tale of "Looks like we can, but should we?"

Warbirds - 3 Stars
If you like WWII stories and/or have an interest in stories where the detailed and technical parts of combat are a main focus, this is the story for you. For me, there was a whole lot of cluttered build up for a sudden and somewhat odd payoff. Not bad, but not the best story from this book.

You Are Released - 5 Stars
The best story in the collection so far. Very raw and real. Great characters and character development for a short story. I felt the suspense in my soul while reading.

Air Raid - 4.5 Stars
A unique take on post-apocalyptic speculative Sci-fi. A bit confusing at first, but will keep you on the edge of your seat as the plot becomes clear.

Diablitos - 4 Stars
Creepy artifacts are always good for a scary story. Smuggle them into your carry on, and you are asking for big trouble!

Two Minutes Forty-Five Seconds - 2 Stars
Seems kind of pointless and not all that interesting. Doesn't really succeed in telling a whole story in just a few pages. I am left with more questions than answers.
