5.0 out of 5 stars Sings a joyful song, 22 Jan 1997
By A Customer
Generally, science fiction anthologies are a mixed bag, some terrific stories, some terrible stories that you think may be in there just because the author has a "name." Space Opera, however, is nothing like any anthology I have ever read before. It is a one-note song, but that one note sings a joyful song. Made up of short stories commissioned for this anthology, they all share a theme, music. Within that theme, there are as many variations as the human mind can devise. Some stories are only tenuously connected with music, like the faintest hum. Others throb, resonate and pound into your brain like Sony's megabass. But all are worth reading, and some reading 2 or 3 or 4 times to capture all the rich nuances. For anyone who loves science fiction and music, Space Opera is a rare find and a thrilling melody. I particularly enjoyed the story contributed by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, and not just because we are both nurses. Anne Berson RN (bersonfamily@worldnet.att.net).

5.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, 27 Aug 2000
By ndnewsham@tinyworld.co.uk (Lancaster,England) - See all my reviews
As a lover of the Pern chronicles, I did not know what to expect but i found it a really enjoyable read, (even though i cried nearly all the way through it).Highly recommended for all those who might be unsure in buying this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, 14 Mar 2000
By A Customer
I bought this one because of the editors. I can't say that I was disappointed, but it won't be one for me to go back to. Only a couple of the stories held my interest, indeed some left me feeling "what was that about?"
