Set in the same world as Kenyon's many other books, I felt too often like I was missing something by not having read any of them. Words which by context appear to carry weight didn't because they were meaningless to me. Outside that issue, it was a fairly entertaining read.

Another exciting entry in David Wellington's vampire series. I really love the way they are depicted as monsters and not romantic figures.

It's hard to rate short story collections as a whole when it contains so many different writers and styles. I loved a few of the tales, hated a few of them, and was indifferent on a few more. My favorite story of the bunch was “Judgment Passed” by Jerry Oltion, and as a computer programmer myself I had a soft spot for “When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth” by Cory Doctorow.

It is totally worth reading just to see 22 different views on the Apocalypse in rather short order.

I like the concept a lot, however the execution of it is lacking. But, I do want to read more, and I will.

I liked the book, but I really feel that it could have been told better and with greater effect if it had been half the length. Too much of the story felt like it was just dragging out time between the parts worth reading.
