Book Reviews of Like You'd Understand, Anyway: Stories
Book Review: Superbly written journey thru time and space
Summary: 5 Stars
As others have mentioned, each story is from a different place and different era. And this is good, since it keeps one interested: if you don't like reading about American football protagonists, maybe you'll like to read about a Roman empire soldier.
What is really mind boggling, and it takes some time to realize it - is that each and every story has also a different writing STYLE. It is subtle, but once you get it - you realize what an excellent, gifted author Jim Shepard is.
Well researched, eclectic, and an absolute must read.
