The short "The Star" held no interest for me, it started out like some science magazine, talking about a planet and a star coming in day by day, I have not really been a real big fan of Wells. To me its to plain and no real excitement in the story.
The short "Speech Sounds" was very interesting, in the sense that this was something that our government would do to us, use us as guinea pigs for experiments for their own sick jokes. But it also makes you look at the world of deaf people, how they talk and sign to get what they need in life. These people who had suffered "the stroke" effect, were adapting to their environment like a deaf person would adapt, they use gestures and facial expressions. The hero in the story put a whole new turn on it, and him being there a whole three seconds even a bigger one. I mean I've heard of the knight in shining armor effect, but this takes it to a whole new level. Made love to the woman, stood up for the woman and died for the woman all within minutes. For Rye to find children that spoke shocked me, considering the whole time, I thought Rye couldn't speak, only to find she could. Amazing how when you lose one part of your brain how another will adapt for it.
