I'm going to counterpoint. I didn't dislike Chiang's stories, but none of them really blew me away either.

Generally the feeling I always get from his stories is the writing is very good, but the stories have always been executed by others, better.

I read his stories and didn't mind them. But I don't see myself going back and rereading them like I would for Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, etc.

I happily passed the collection on to someone else and don't feel any need to replace it.
