A review by leslierholm
A Medicine for Melancholy and Other Stories by Ray Bradbury

4.0

I reckon I'm not very smart. Some of Bradbury's stories just leave me scratching my head and wondering what the heck they mean. His Martian stories, on the other hand, are old favorites that I can reread annually. So I can give more than half the stories in this collection 5 stars, but the remaining I find so baffling that I would only give them 2 stars. That's why it took me a month to read this - every time I came across a baffler, I would put it up - kind of like Joey hiding Little Women in the freezer.
