A review by zamyatins_fears
Driving Blind by Ray Bradbury

2.0

I always hesitate to give details on short stories so as a result, this review will be short. This collection of Bradbury shorts mainly focuses around nostalgia for one’s youth. I didn’t find any of them to be groundbreaking, but there is a certain bittersweet charm to some of these stories. In a few stories, the theme focuses more on disillusionment with the past. A couple stories feature sexual themes, such as the protagonist’s memory of his first oral experience, which doesn’t bother me, but may offend some readers. I enjoyed Remember Me, Mr. Pale, Madame et Monsieur Shill and The Highest Branch on the Tree the most. A Woman is a Fast Moving Picture was highly amusing, but nothing mind blowing. If MGM is Killed Who Gets the Lion, was a most promising title, but probably one of the dullest shorts I’ve ever read. Most everything else was just okay in my opinion.
