Not all of the stories are specifically science fiction, and would probably appeal to readers of general fiction as well. Reminiscent of Ray Bradbury but with a feminine perspective. I am dissapointed that my local library doesn't carry many of her books anymore, making her work hard to track down. But if you can find a copy of Artificial Things it is well worth reading from cover to cover. ( ) Although most of these stories did not have the satisfying 'punchy' ending I like from short stories, they were extremely well concieved. I think a lot of the problem I had with the endings comes from the fact that I'd really like to read more about the people and situations introduced in each of these stories. I like that almost all of her protagonists are women, which you don't find often in science fiction. There is much unexplored territory in the genre that comes from placing a woman at the head of a story that might even be similar to something one has read before involving a male lead character. I do have to say that "The View from Venus" is the best short story I have ever read, EVER. I recommend every fan of sci-fi, short stories, or romance get a copy of this book, if only for that story. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
