A review by viiemzee
A Graveyard for Lunatics by Ray Bradbury
3.0
This is the first Ray Bradbury book I've ever read, and I've always known him as a sci-fi writer. So, to read a murder-mystery was not something I expected.
I enjoyed the twists and turns to the story, and the fact that he borrows ideas from his own life (his best friend was a stop motion artist much like Roy, and he had worked at a movie studio as a screenwriter when he was young) makes the story even more compelling. In fact, the writer is a self-insert of Bradbury; he just doesn't have a name.
Overall it took me a while to get into the story, but it is a short novella with a compelling twist (even though I did see it coming half way through) so I recommend it to murder-mystery fans!
