Customer Reviews

The best collection of short stories by Orson Scott Card.

Orson Scott Card is far and away my favorite short story author. Of his collections of short stories, _The_Monkey_Sonatas_ is the best. Each of the "sonatas" is a gripping, tragic short story about we "monkeys." In almost every case, I was moved to tears. If you can find this book, I give it my highest recommendation. It's not in print at the moment, but I'm looking forward to a reprint. I lost my first copy, which I consider to be a separate tragedy. :) If it is re-released, I plan to buy at least 5 copies for backup and gifts. (Hear that, Tor?) Some of them are science fiction, some are fantasy. All are fantastic.
