Review:

Before the Hugo and Nebula Awards came into being there was the Hall of Fame. The Science Fiction Writers of America Association decided to pick the 25 best short stories from 1929 to the current year of 1964. Thus, all these stories were picked by the writers of the best SF at the time and then a smaller jury of writers finalized the selections. This is the best of the best, as chosen by the best.

So with all that being said it does not follow that I am going to like all the selections. Take any story and I can see why it was chosen and why it is such a masterpiece. But like any other selection of anything, the amount I like it is a matter of taste.

I loved a few of them, liked most of them, and appreciated the others.
