Only 2 good stories in the whole collection. Enormous waste of time ( )

I loved almost all the stories except for the last one. This book is definitely worth reading, and I enjoyed discovering so many exciting characters. I did not care for the way he would jump in to explain or set up some of the stories, but those parts are easy enough to breeze past. All in all, a very good read. ( )

The second in the two-part "Rretrospective" (obnoxious), this volume does not hold as many great quality stories but is still worth reading. This volume contains samples from his, in my opinion, b-team: Tuf, Wild Cards, and TV scripts among other things.

What redeems this volume, however is the last section "The Heart in Conflict," stories which are Martin at his easy best. "Skinchangers", "Portraits of His Children" and "Unsound Variations" are excellent examples of short fiction. This also includes his first "Dunk and Egg" story, which translated better as a graphic novelette than in purely written form.

I am a great fan of Martin, so I apologize if my tone is a bit negative but I can only think that this compilation is a celebration of Martin's past when I heartily believe his fans would like to be thinking of the future of his work, not more screen treatments and edited compilations. ( )

Some of the stories were great, but definitely not all. I have also skipped quite a few because of the genres (I am not a super hero fiction fan). ( )

Dreamsongs: A RRetrospective is a career-spanning collection of George R. R. Martin's short fiction. It was first published in 2003 as a single volume hardcover from Subterranean Press under the title GRRM: A RRetrospective and debuted in Toronto at Torcon 3, the 63rd World Science Fiction Convention, where Martin was the Writer Guest Of Honor. The collection features 34 pieces of fiction (including two TV scripts), an introduction by Gardner Dozois, commentary by Martin on each stage of his career, a Martin bibliography, and original art for each story.
It is a great selection of stories which demonstrate the diversity of Martin's writing. Some I loved and some I skipped over - those mainly the scripts for Hollywood stuff. The Tuf, Hedge Knight, and Wild Cards were great. ( )
