review 1: I never read any Bradbury until last year when I finished Fahrenheit 451. Since that time I have been eager to read more. This book is a collection of short stories by main popular authors paying tribute to Bradbury's influence and style. These stories do a very good job of paying homage to Bradbury stories while also building upon them in the authors own way. The only problem I have is some of the short stories were too short.
review 2: some stories were good, but other stories were not that great. my biggest problem was lazy writing. The Companions for example was a great idea. However, it's writing was so lazy it felt like a "this happened, then this happened," and so on. I didn't feel as though the story was occurring, but more a sloppy recollection. o
... morether stories were better, like Sam Weller's and the lovely Alice Hoffmann. collection was good for me, but not great. less

Some great, some good - all influenced by Bradbury whom I love. Fun anthology to dive into.

Great collection. Only one bad story in the bunch (but phew, it's a bad one).

A nice tribute to one of my favorite writers with some exceptional stories.

Pretty good, most of the story felt like a Bradbury story, but a few didn't
