Now that we are on the second collection, I am glad we've moved on a bit from that earlier form of Science Fiction- the kind where every woman is helpless, every white man is a hero, and every sentence ends with exclamation points. The first set was a mixed bag, but historically I found it interesting. This one, while the star rating remains the same (because there are some week tales in here for sure) has some great stuff in it. I enjoyed about 80% of this one.

Good anthology with some gems: The first story “What’s He Doing in There?” is a quick, humorous take on how Earth people and Martians differ in their customs. Other stand out stories include “Keep Out” by Frederic Brown, “Postmark Ganymede” by Robert Silverberg, “Compandroid” by Nina Kiriki Hoffman, “The Thing in the Attic” by James Blish, and the classic “The Marching Morons” by C.M. Kornbluth.

This collection really had its ups and downs, some of the stories were really forgettable, others amusing, it took me quite a bit of time to get through it, but I'm really happy that I did. The last story in particular was very good, and was in itself worth the price of the entire collection. It was really tender, and exploratory, and it had a bit of everything, and with an ending like that I was really tempted to give the whole collection an extra star, it really was a 5 star story, but I don't This collection really had its ups and downs, some of the stories were really forgettable, others amusing, it took me quite a bit of time to get through it, but I'm really happy that I did.

It was really tender, and exploratory, and it had a bit of everything, and with an ending like that I was really tempted to give the whole collection an extra star, it really was a 5 star story, but I don't think that would be completely right when I look through my comments throughout reading. If you like me like sci-fi, and want to see some different stories around it this is a good collection, and it's fun to see some different stories, there was a lot of good stories in there, but also some duds that were more of a chore to go through. I found this second collection to be better than the first one, and I'm quite sure that I will go back to reading more of these collections, but I need to give them a bit of breathing room in between, or else I'm burning out on them. I'll say one thing from sure though, there is really a crazy good value for the price here, I paid less than a euro for the collection, and I got so many hours of entertainment out of it. So I know I'm repeating myself, but this is close to a four star book, but it's not quite there for me, but if you have a buck, and some hours there are far worse ways to spend them than getting this collection.

Finito con una certa fatica. Come per gli altri due volumi Megapack letti finora (1° e 3°) non esiste un filo conduttore tra i racconti, e si passa dai superclassici alla fantascienza contemporanea. Tra i migliori che mi sento di segnalare ci sono sicuramente The Marching Morons (che mi ha fatto molto pensare a Idiocracy), The Waveries, Adam and No Eve, The Ego Machine (un piccolo capolavoro) e The Thing in The Attic. Per il resto... c'è un po' troppa fantascienza militaresca per i miei gusti. Finito con una certa fatica.

Darkover And Other Places The highlight of this volume is The Planet Savers which is the first volume in the Darkover series by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It can be enjoyed with no knowledge of the rest of the series. Along with that you got stories by Philip K. Dick,Mack Reynolds and other fine writers too.

What a great ecclectic group of stories. Among my favorites was "The Waveries", "The Hate Disease", and "THe Dueling Machine" and "The Planet Savers". I am really enjoying classic sci fi, and it is amazing to me how relevant it still is today. I am so glad I found these collections of megapacks. What a great ecclectic group of stories.

Another good anthology Another collection of old and new. I especially liked revisiting Darkover, a world I hadn't visited in at least 20 years. Another good anthology Another collection of old and new. I especially liked revisiting Darkover, a world I hadn't visited in at least 20 years.

Nice selection of stories.

Good read Some stories better than others. Nevertheless enjoyable. They want thirteen more words but I have finished my review. So long pals.

This is a nice collection of classic SF short stories. Notably, it contains the first of C.M. Kornbluth's great duo: "The Marching Morons". The second, "Little Black Bag" is in the first volume. The rest of the stories are all very good, some seem dated, but others are fresh as when they were written. "The Planet Savers" seemed to me a good example of the latter. The plot centers around deliberate use of multiple personalities. This is a nice collection of classic SF short stories. Notably, it contains the first of C.M.

Sci-Fi -good and bad On the whole the 2nd volume was better than the 1st. Most of the stories were well written although some of them either rambled or needed more explanation within the story. Having said that I'm looking forward to volume 3. Sci-Fi -good and bad On the whole the 2nd volume was better than the 1st.

Not as good as the first one tbh. There was still a few really nice little reads (the final one I really liked for example) but there was a lot more stuff this time where I just didn't enjoy it. Still, hard to complain when it was 49p 5/10 Not as good as the first one tbh.

Some of the stories are really bad, most of them are okay though. Not much brilliance to be found here overall.
Matthew Webb –
F F-ing great! What a treat to read. Much better than creepypasta. These short stories are a delight. Baklava. Perfect Strangers.
Bryan Kornele –
Most of these stories were just bad.

Normally, I love golden age science fiction, but this collection just didn't do it for me. The first megapack was good, this one, not so much. Normally, I love golden age science fiction, but this collection just didn't do it for me. The first megapack was good, this one, not so much.

this is sort of a mixed bag, some horrible, a couple transcendent, most in the middle somewhere.
Steve Davies –
This volume was certainly an improvement over the first, but many of the stories show their age still. Worth a read for the sci-fi fan regardless.
Bryan Urbuteit –
It was good.
Jupiter Barrera –
Some great, some good, some ok.
