Reader Reviews
ShovelwareFirst of all it's more like five books and all in the public domain. Ray Bradbury has not aged well nor any of the others the Dick stories are probably the best.They didn't put much effort into the project and stuck H G Wells and Verne in to add pages but as they have been public domain they have been free reads since the last 50 yearsThere is a bug that likes to reprint sections of the print on some stories as if they were committed to a word count.
