My Opinion : Since there are five stories, I'll give my opinion on each of them!


Sleeping with the spirit was a good story by Laurie Faria Stolarz. It's my second favorite in the book! I guess I just loved the whole ghost-human love.


I was impressed by Stupid Perfect Word by Scott Westerfeld. I normally don't really like his writing, but this was my favorite story!


Thinner than Water was okay. It was my fourth favorite story in all.


Fan Fictions was quite good actually. It's my third favorite.


Love Struck was my least favorite of all because they didn't really explain anything about the weird power things!


Note : Take note that since there were five stories and too many characters by story, IO won't talk about them.


Sleeping with the Spirit : 4/5
Stupid Perfect Word : 4.5/5
Thinner than Water : 3/5
Fan Fictions : 3.5/5
Love Struck : 2.5/5


The whole book : 4/5 ... I guess
