I quit while almost half-way though this book.Life is too short.These stories are not his hit records, but rather the B-sides.I can't take it anymore. Every story in this book makes youwish you were reading something else. Maybe there are better stories later in the book.I am not caring anymore.I'm actually a fan of Bradbury too, but these stories are just soooooo weak.Some of these stories are better than others. But Ray Bradbury's imagination is always a joy to behold. His stories inspire me and awaken child-like thoughts and feelings. I always enjoy going back to them.
Science fiction and fantasy fans are familiar with seeing oodles of anthologies and collections of short stories from the Grandmaster on bookshelves. Bradbury was a great writer and while Fahrenheit 451 is his masterpiece, I submit here that his other great contribution to our literature was his prolific short story writing.This is exceptional in that it collects stories from across his fifty plus years of putting ink on paper, from the 1950s to just before he died in 2012. We also see the
Dear Mr. Bradbury,I took a lot of time to finish your book. Not because the stories were complicated to read or because this collection was a big one, it was for the simple reason that I wanted to savor the aftertaste of each and every one of the tales. After I finished a tale, I closed the book and my eyes to relive those images you so vividly explained. You made me relive my childhood days of carefree wanderings and never ending hours of play. How as a child you never feel the sun as you play
Can we just admit that Bradbury was one of our greatest American writers? Can we all just agree on that? Is there a writer that speaks so clearly about humanity, even when he's writing about martians? (No.)Some of these stories were chilling, some were funny, some were heart-breaking. I had never read any of his Irish stories before, and found them to be delightful. My particular favorite of those was The Cold Wind and the Warm, in which fairies return to Ireland . . . just not the kind of
It's taken me a few days to get around to writing this review. As soon as I completed the book, we went on a short vacation. I don't think I'm old, but some of you may disagree. The last time I read a book by Bradbury was in High School back in roughly 19xx. So, it's been a while and I had forgotten when a great writer he was.Bradbury stories is very long, almost 1,000 pages, including 100 of his best short stories. The reading is easy, quick and enjoyable. In fact, I have on only a few
Not a complete collection (there are several glaring omissions, like "The Veldt" and "A Sound of Thunder"), but it's the biggest one I've found so far. A nice mix of his Martian, Irish, sci-fi and childhood stories, ranging from the '40s to the '90s (!).
