Editorial Review:

Product Description:


For more than sixty years, the imagination of Ray Bradbury has opened doors into remarkable places, ushering us across unexplored territories of the heart and mind while leading us inexorably toward a profound understanding of ourselves and the universe we inhabit. In this landmark volume, America's preeminent storyteller offers us one hundred treasures from a lifetime of words and ideas. The stories within these pages were chosen by Bradbury himself, and span a career that blossomed in the pulp magazines of the early 1940s and continues to flourish in the new millennium. Here are representatives of the legendary author's finest works of short fiction, including many that have not been republished for decades, all forever fresh and vital, evocative and immensely entertaining.






Rating: - Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury
I purchased four copies of this book so that I could share three of them with a small writing group. Our topic for this month was to revisit a beloved book from our youth and I chose to go back here. I found the return to be so delightful that I wanted the others to have the experience. I will keep the fourth book myslef to revisit in another ten years.

Rating: - An Outstanding Collection, Indeed

Rating: - Bradbury Stories
Ray Bradbury is the consummate artist of the written word! He can thrill you with a thousand worlds and a street just around the corner. Literate and inventive! If you've never really read much other than a few off hand pieces-do yourself a favor and be haunted by the best! Some of these will hit you in the gut and stay there.

Another gift. I bought it for someone as a birthday present.
Bradbury is awesome, but his stories are uneven in quality. Some are great, some (mainly his more recent stuff) are kinda' iffy.

In any case, "The Martian Chronicles" is a much better way to familiarize yourself with Bradbury's work since it's pretty much the best thing he's ever written.
