As with any anthology, some stories are better than others -- or perhaps it's more fair to say that some stories will speak to particular people more than others. There are quite a few good stories (for me, "Whatever Skin You Wear" and "The First Dance" stood out), and the rest are okay, nothing I'd particularly call bad. There were a couple unfortunate missteps; the very first story ("Tom") uses "tranny", which I've come to see as a perjorative, and I'm not sure whether it's usage was supposed to be in character or whether it's simply poor word choice by the author, and a later story ("Ticking") has an unfortunate and glaring continuity error share a flashlight is dropped twice without being picked up in between. All in all, not a bad collection, but I didn't find it stellar; rather, the hit-and-miss you'd expect from just about any such collection.
