Summary: Solid entertainment... 4 1/2 stars!
Review: Stanek's been a favorite ever since I read Keeper Martin. Magic Lands & other Stories is a book of short fiction. I loved "silence is golden". ev prooves girls rule! She's strong, unafraid of the hand she's ben dealt. She does what has to be done. This one story shows Stanek's as brilliant in short form as he is with novels. I also loved "magic lands," the title story of the book. Ray and Kerry's stories work wonderfully together. These are both solid works. While I liked "august rains", I didn't really care for "absolutes". "absolutes" is a good story, perhaps great, but it's science fiction in the truest sense. I will admit to reading "absolutes" twice. You almost have to to get what realy happens. In summary, i think there's somethign here for everyone. It is surely a worthwhile read.

Summary: Amazing story collection
Review: Thank you Mr. Stanek for this excellent book! Magic Lands hits straight and delivers! I liked all 4 stories! I didn't want it to end. Stanek's style kept me busily turning pages. I read several of the stories twice--something I haven't done in years. This is brilliant. A must read
