Beschreibung
Sinister mushrooms growing in a dank cellar. A family's first glimpse at Martians. A wonderful white vanilla ice-cream summer suit that changes everyone who wears it. All those images and many more are inside this book, 31 of Bradbury's most arresting tales—timeless short fiction that ranges from the farthest reaches of space to the innermost stirrings of the heart.

- (4/5)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.
- (3/5)While there are some great stories in here, the preponderance of them is too much of Ray Bradbury's worst tendencies--thin characters, wasted non-drama, a romanticism with space and rockets that feels plain gooey. Combine the best of this book with the best of "R is for Rocket" and you have one tight collection of short stories.
