The Complete Stories

‘The Dead Past', ‘Living Space', ‘Profession', ‘The Last Trump', ‘The Last Question' and ‘Jokester' were all fantastic stories that really left you with something to think about long after you've read it.

I would give this book 4 stars but as it's more of a collection of stories rather than a one story, it doesn't seem fit to re-read the entire book again. I would definitely re-read certain stories but I would skip over others like ‘The Dying Night' which I didn't really care too much for. Probably because it was more of a murder mystery, but it is good that the book included a wide variety of genres than just sci-fi.

There were a good few religious references in the collection as well. I found it interesting how religion and sci-fi could be melded together to create a solid story. My favourite story of this theme was the ‘Last Trump' primarily because it was funny how angels and gods were apart of a bureaucracy.

I would recommend this to basically everyone unless you have some hatred of sci-fi.
