review 1: Bradbury is one of my favorite authors and I always love his poetic style. There is just something to reading his stories. They text is almost haunting. This story is no exception. It is strange to read someone who has such an emphasise on style but is still so accessible as a wr...

review 1: This is a set of Bradbury's short stories that swirl around the events in Fahrenheit 451, either taking place in or near the same dystopia where books are illegal and all things that generate excitement or fear are sanitized. It also includes the stories that were the direct mate...

review 1: Ray Bradbury holds the secret of summer in this treasured little book of short stories. It's a great addition to Dandelion Wine, which I have to say I loved more, probably only because it's longer. Even though I'm not of Bradbury's generation, I can still appreciate the subtle in...

review 1: A dream the other night made it clear that world is ending in 24 hours. Everybody had the same dream; exactly the same. Everybody believed it to be real. Nobody protested or bothered to do anything special in the few remaining hours. As the two main characters in the story explai...
