Mother West Wind ‘How’ Stories by Thornton W. Burgess
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
After reading the collection in ‘Mother West Wind “Where” Stories’, I figured the next collection read couldn’t continue the same over used template in the last set. i was wrong. This book is much the same. Basically the same story over and over. Apparently Burgess had no ability to flesh out plots from any other angle. This collection is a wee better with a few stories having a bit more to them, but the concept is the same.
Adding to that is the title of the book. Two books in and I still not read one word about a “Mother West Wind”. Also this one has “How” in the title as the last has “Where”. Yet, the first book has nothing to do with “Where” and the “How” is questionable here.
I also don’t care for the fantasy of this “Mother Nature” altering creatures as a plot device.
The writing is OK, beyond the repetitious wording.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book. 5 out of ten.
