When I originally added these books, it was on Living Social's virtual bookshelf. They didn't seem to have this collection, so I added the titles I could remember as separate entries. I'm simply cleaning them up, since this is what I listened to. Copy/pasting the little bit of (and mostly useless) comments I had on the books.

Overall rating is a 4. I enjoyed most of these stories.

Minority Report

Pretty good short story. Rather different from the movie, which I also enjoyed. I rated this a 4.

Paycheck

This too is rather different than the movie, which is a good thing. I didn't like the movie at all, but the short story was good. I rated this a 4.

We Can Remember it For you Wholesale

This too is rather different than the movie. I enjoyed both the movie and the short story despite their differences. I rated this a 4.

Second Variety

It was descent, but predictable. Maybe that was less true when published, but it doesn't hold up too well in my opinion. I'd give this a 2.5 or 3.

The Eyes Have It

This one didn't even make it on my list. I must not have been able to find any listing for it at all. My vague recollection is that it was the shortest of the stories, and that I liked it fine, but not very memorable. I think I enjoyed it more than Second Variety at least, so probably a solid 3.
