Excellent Author; Overated Book!
1 May 2000
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book expecting stories on par with those found in The Illustrated Man, and R is for Rocket, boy was I wrong! Now don't misunderstand me these stories weren't that bad its just that after reading some of Bradbury's best stories, these just don't quite leave the same impression on me as The Long Rain, and the Outsiders. Still this was a good book to help fill my Bradbury collection. And so, here's my recommendation to Mr and Mrs. John Q. Taxpayer, buy this book if you love Bradbury, if not look elsewhere, and buy The Illustrated Man instead! Peace.

Very Nice!! Pleasurable and witty.
3 Feb 2006
Format:Hardcover
This book was a compilation of short stories by Ray Bradbury. Unlike most of Bradbury's other books, this one is not based in the future. If I were to make a guess of the time frame of the book in the mid 1940's. I would say that they were put in the same book because they were all focused on the art of deception. One of the better stories in the book was "Hello, I Must Be Going". It is about one of two men, one of whom is a friend of the other. The "other" was/ is a man who is actually dead! He talks to his friend over a long series of drinks, and neither of them can make sense of either of them. The dead man, Henry, is telling his friend, Steve, that he has been very sad, of late, because his poor wife is no longer weeping for him. It would seem as if he did not exist. As Henry got up to leave Steve started to weep. This made Henry feel much better. Henry fell a little happier with himself because at least someone wept for him. The wit an the fun of the book makes it very pleasurable to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be slightly baffled, yet walk away with a smile on their faces. It is very cleverly crafted; the reader cannot have a complete understanding of it. But nonetheless, it gives the reader enough to get the jokes and find out what is happening. In a sense, the book is almost in command of the reader.
