Reviews

  • A good set of stories.

    There is a lot of repetition of theme here mostly coming of age and the first love / sex encounters of geeks. The first story by the main editors is great and original a lot of the rest of the stories are eerily similar. Still if you are a geek, nerd, freak whatever I'd say there's something here for you.
  • An awesome book

    This book is a collection of stories..so if your just going to buy this book, look through it first and make sure you like it But I can say they are all written by popular authors and all the stories are very good. Although some can be confusing.

    I bought this book at some store thinking it was just long story. Turns out there are tons of tiny stories (Pg14-27) that talks about situations that geeks have been in
