Summary: This book has something for everyone.
Review: What I liked about this book:It was very well edited with a great introduction to the genre of Alternate History. A great book for someone who has never read any AH as well as a long time AH reader like myself. This book has something for everyone. My favorite story of the collection was Must and Shall by Harry Turtledove

Summary: A crop of Alternate History tales from Superb to adequate
Review: What if the North won a pyrrhic victory against the South? What if the 1950's saw a dawn of an America much much darker than the one we have in this universe.That's the crux of this mostly stellar selection of stories by some of the most well known writers in the buisness. Collections of this type rise or fall on the strength of the individual stories, and the quality in Roads not Taken is very high. Even the clunkers,and they are few, aren't bad stories, merely ones I personally had little taste for. Your mileage may vary with some of the stories, but if you have any interest in Alternate History, be it by Turtledove, De Camp, or some of the lesser known lights of Science Fiction, there is something in this collection to suit your fancy. Recommended.

Summary: Great book that covers all the bases! MUST READ!
Review: WOW! This book rocked. I am a 16 year old who recently discovered the world of alternate history and I love it! This book covers all the bases and then some. First of all, the wide range of authors, writing styles, and subjects kept my interest piqued through the whole book. I finished it in 1 DAY! I loved all of the selections. (Not to say I didn't have a favorite!) Well, my favorite was the last one by Gene Wolfe about the auto race. The whole scenario seems absurd, but by the end, all the subtleties catch up and make it a smashing end to the book. I also liked the one with Aristotle and the one where the 13 colonies never came together. Great research and development went into those, I can tell. I probably learned more from this book than I did in Modern World History class this year! I will definitely read more alternate history because of this book. A DEFINITE MUST-READ!!!
