Tomorrowland: 10 Stories About the Future

Rating:
Summary: More like Nowland, but still good
Review: It's a nice compilation of stories that takes now and brings it into a look-ahead perspective. It's got a lot of variety, so you won't get bored that easily. Ranging from sibling rivalries to dating hassles, all the short stories have some common trait we all can relate to like fear, loyality, faith, love, envy, anger, hatred and so on. The best story in my opinion (which actually boosts this rating) is the one written by the compiler himself. Cart's pre-millenium tale about a boy in love with a priest's daughter is pretty good and the climax of the boy's choice over right and wrong, between love and faith is released very well. All in all, the book's not a bad read...worth a look but not a buy.

Review: The Last Dog is a great, funny story by Katherine Paterson. The story takes place in the future. A man named Brock lives in a dome with other humans. They think the water and the air are poisoned from pollution. One day Brock went outside of the dome. Brock sees a dog in the wild and names him Brog. He takes Brog to the dome. When he is there, the other scientist wanted to experiment on Brog. Brock tries to save the dog.

Summary: An ecclectic group of stories for the new millenium
Review: The title of Tomorrow Land is a bit misleading: Not all ofthese stories are about the future. Instead, editor Michael Cart didwhat good editors do: He gave a group of talented writers an starting point and let them go wherever their imagination led them. What on the surface looks like some kind of SF collection is instead a quirky collection of stories taking place in the past, present, and future. Overall, the book is a wonderful read that leaves its readers with plenty to think about.

Summary: Wonderful book
Review: This is quite possibly one of the best compilations of short stories I've ever read... each one good in its own way. This is a great book for someone of the middle school to highschool range, there's a lot of stories to relate to. Its very magical in the way it captures you... even more so than most adult novels I've read. This book really makes you think!!!
