Summary: Alll around great book!
Review: The way that Bradbury uses words is astounding. Everything is described so well in his stories that it makes me feel almost as if I am there. Not only that, but his stories are all interesting. Definately a classic sci-fi novel!

Summary: The most brilliant thing I've ever read
Review: Not only is the writing style cinematically vivid and descriptive, the content and ideas are the most creative, intriguing tales I have ever been lucky enough to read.When I got near the end of the book, I would check the table of contents after each story just to make sure there were a few more... eventually, there weren't any more, so now I'm here on Amazon looking for more stories of his. Those people who reviewed these stories as being 'very stupid'... you are entitled to your own opinion, but I can barely believe you even read the book. Thank you.

Summary: Poorly written
Review: The book entitled "The Illustrated Man" bye Ray Bradbury, in my view is poorly written. I dislike Mr. Bradbury's repetitive repetitive repetitive style. I also found that Mr. Bradbury did not consistantly stick to one form of language; often he would insert a brief British chiche.

Summary: Does anyone know the answer to this question?
Review: Hello. I am writing this note because i have a problem figuring something out. In the story, "The Fox and the Forest", Ann and Roger Kristen are living in the world of 2155 A.D. They were born in 2155, but they are also adults in that year! How could this be? If anyone has the answer, please let me know.

Summary: Classic collection
Review: This is one of those "must own" books that you always hear about, in a hundred years this and a handful of other Bradbury books will be considering classics of American literature. Basically a collection of about a guy who has all this illustrations on his body that shows the stories to an unnamed observer. Personally I have no idea why he bothered with the Illustrated Man concept, the stories stand on their own just fine, though it does give him the opportunity to give a great sucker punch ending. And the concept is basically ignored after the second story but hey when the stuff is this good who am I to complain? The stories themselves, like I said are all excellent, some more than others but it's mostly the distinction between "real good" and "really really really good". The highlights are the opening "The Veldt" which is classic Bradbury and some story about some guys on Venus who are going crazy from getting rained on and a few others. Most of his stories are science-fictional, often revolving in one way or another around rockets but Bradbury deals less with actual science and more about fantasy and dreams, leading to some real good touching moments, above all his stories are about people, they just happened to be set in the future on Mars. Some are sentimental, some are creepy, some are funny but all are good. And it's quick reading, so you have no excuse. Get it today

Summary: Inever knew what was coming next.
Review: I have never been more bewildered or sadened or even happy all in one sitting of reading this great novel. You are put on a journey to Mars and then through the mind until the only other place to go is the heart. Bradbury keeps you guessing as to what the next story could possibly be and how could it end. Unbelievable!

Summary: My favourite novel ever.
Review: This novel changed me. It has everything, it has suspense, horror, action while also running on a deeper more philosophical level. Bradburys prose is cinematic, and generally I felt I wanted to read it slowly because I didn't want the novel to end. Suspend you disbelief and enjoy.

Review: philisophically brilliant!!!! and fun!!!!!

Summary: Enjoyable but somewhat redundant.
Review: While this fascinating collection of short stories certainly has its share of interesting situations, many of them, especially toward the middle, were not as creative as I had hoped. Perhaps this is because I read The Martian Chronicles only months earlier, but it seems as if Bradbury, though a terrific author, dwells on the same ideas in all of his collections. I still found some of the stories enjoyable and would recommend this book to others, but it is not as good as The Martian Chronicles or Something Wicked This Way Comes.
