Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales by Ray Bradbury
4.0
This book is very enjoyable, but it’s probably best to break it up into smaller chunks instead of reading it altogether. It got a bit daunting towards the end. There are, of course, a few duds, but I found the majority of the stories to be interesting, haunting, and often times moving.
The book starts out strong with “The Whole Town’s Sleeping”, but the stories don’t quite keep up the same momentum after that one. That one in particular made me feel sick to my stomach and gave me the creeps which is perfect. Bradbury is a master of sci-fi but also human connection and nostalgia. His writing often leaps off the page and gets right into the action. This may not be the strongest collection, but it would be a shame to miss out on it completely.
