Rating: Summary: I persisted to the bitter end! Review: I found the premises of most of the stories intriguing. The stories were very well written. I particularly liked "Hawksbill Station."

Rating: Summary: A misleading title Review: Only a third of these stories are worthy to be in a collection of the best of all time travel stories, many of the others being only competent re-tellings of other authors original ideas. Although I liked many of the stories I was disappointed that it wasn't a collection of all top notch original time travel stories as it's title advertises, and I was especially irritated by reading an introduction to one story that referred to Robert Heinlein's "By his bootstraps" - which isn't in this anthology claiming to collect the best time travel stories! As a whole it's a worthwhile book, though don't buy it for the comic version of "A sound of thunder". The comic is printed on good quality paper in full colour process - but as a few small pages printed in paperback format it's not a good way to see Richard Corbens art. But it is NOT a collection of The Best. More a collection of "Some of the Best Time Travel stories, and some other ones".
