Review Eros, Philia, Agape: A Tor.Com Original

Eros, Philia, Agape: A Tor.Com Original Best Review

I am not usually a fan of short stories. I enjoy a lot of character and world development and don't normally find that this is possible in a short story. This one proved me wrong. It's an extremely introverted tale and the points brought up are very poignant and though provoking. I'm very glad I took a chance on this short story and because of it have read a few more since then. None of them have been as amazing as this one, but some have been veyr good. In short, this story renewed my interest in short stories as a whole.

Interesting loose ends - C. Ryan - Vermont, USA
I enjoyed it. There's so much more that could be fleshed out in a longer story but sometimes it is thought provoking to wonder about the loose ends.



decent read - randi bresach - MORENO VALLEY, CA, US
The story in this book wasn't to bad. The ending left a lot to be desired. It just kinda stops with no explanation about what comes next in the characters lives. Its rather a depressing story really about a woman so lonley she goes to extreme measures to find someone she can relate to only to be hurt worse then she was before. I like my stories to have a somewhat happy ending and this one fell far from that



One of the Best Science Fiction Short Stories I've Read - S. R. Bowen - Near San Francisco
Moving, thought-provoking and elegantly written. Recommended to all readers who have both a heart and a brain.



Interesting and thoughtful - Angela M. Lavezzo - Asheville, NC
I really enjoyed this short story. It was unexpected, and certainly thought provoking in that I had never spent time wondering about the role of robots in our future, and have spent time imagining since I finished the story.
A little oddly worded at times, but still good enough to be worth it.
