Short stories... some awesome, some oddball
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Hidden Variables is a collection of Sheffield's short stories. I love Sheffield's stuff and I found most of this book utterly fascinating. These include some of the chapters you can find in "The Compleat McAndrew," a unique perspective on time travel, a short but well-written piece on one man's conversion after a murder, and a very nifty murder mystery involving a special friction-reducing chemical. For those stories, I would rate the book a solid 5. However, he also wrote a few stories involving pigs in order to prove a point or satisfy a bet of some sort. I think the book would have been better off without them. But the rest were well worth reading. I recommend it.
