Geektastic was so much fun to read. It was nice to read some geeky stuff and knowing that some of our favorite authors are geeks just like us.

The stories had a whole range of different types of geeks, but I couldn't choose a favorite. What I love about short stories are that if you're just not feeling it you can move on, but yet if you really like a story you won't get all that you want.

That was my only problem with Geektastic. It seemed that right when I was really getting into a story it ended. Sometimes I just wanted certain parts to be more elaborated.

Other than that Geektastic was funny, and witty. Overall a great way to see how awesome being a geek is.
