Not just a "trip" but an itinerary
Ted Chiang is a highly-skilled writer who chooses speculative ideas and makes them work. Most people know him for the title story, which launched the movie Arrival (a rather misleading version of the story), but the first story in the book was even more interesting -- and subtle. The naming of his protagonist/narrator was an homage to a teacher who lived long ago; the story gives clues to how "the Force" (aka nature) actually works. I ordered two used copies of the book because people who borrow it don't always bring it back. THAT's the review, not anything I say.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Early writings without much substance
This book is somewhat disappointing. The stories are not written with the same level of creativity, surprise, and depth as the more recent compilation of stories in Exhalation. While interesting to see where the author began his writings, they do not compare favorably with his more recent contributions.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A Great Collection of Stories
A collection of short stories and novellas that make you think about life in ways I never expected. Really diverse premises and conclusions. It includes the "Stories of Your Life" upon which Arrival is based and the movie is very true to the themes and perspectives of the story you can read here. In all very clever and an easy and compelling read all the way through.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good Reading
Ted Chaing is one of the crop of relatively newer writers whose style is tinged with Ray Bradbury's palette of colors in which bizarre phenomena is prosaic. Stories of Your Life is full of these types of stories. "Hell is the Absence of God" is one of these stories in which angels routinely visit the earth. Their arrival ripples through the environment with destructive force. The story contemplates God's destructive nature and the main character's struggle with reason, rather than faith, as reason and logic are meaningless in this particular world.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Super book!
Ted Chiang is an awesome writer. Even Samuel Delany says so! And "The Story of your Life," besides being a wonderful story, made a very impressive movie, called "Arrival."Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A bit plodding but it keeps you thinking
Not really summer-light reading. But is it worth a read? It certainly is. The ideas are refreshing and expressed well. You'll likely find yourself thinking about the book long after you've read its last page.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

"Arrival" original story plus
I'm reading the 'Stories Of Your Life' story now. It's very good. Strange, but good. I'll get around to the other stories later. Buy this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
