It was Ray Bradbury's imagination that first drew me to science fiction, and his efficient and lyrical prose that made me appreciate the short story format. You can read these pieces individually, but their impact is greater when read as a collection. There Will Come Soft Rains remains one of my fav...
I had two issues with my copy that prevented me from liking this.1. Some of the audio files at the end were corrupted meaning I couldn't work out the ending2. It was veeeeery long and because it was such a long reading I missed parts that made sense in the story. Therefore I kind of got a patchwork ...

It's been so long ago that i had to read this for class. The most of what I remember was confusing and disjointed about what was happening in the stories. Not to say it was a horrible book, but none of the characters left a lasting impression.

I felt a little jarred out of the story at times. There was a lot in there that felt dated, probably b...
"We earth men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things."The Martian Chronicles, a perfect example of what I'd call a 'quintessential Bradbury' - fragmentary, at times disjointed, occasionally crossing the line into the realm of surreal, full of his trademark nostalgia and sadness, this accoun...
This book, I kept trying to figure out what was going on. Were there really aliens there? Were we really seeing things happen now or in the past. A super depressing book, but worth reading. The movie/series was just okay.
A collection of linked short stories dealing with human colonization of Mars. Not to be confused with Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series, Bradbury is more interested in Twilight Zone style plot twists than technical details. These are psychological stories that deal with themes of nostalgia, homes...
