Spectre's Review
In my opinion, this is Ray Bradbury's greatest compilation of short stories. My personal favorites are "Kaleidoscope", "The
Man," and "The City." I never cease to be amazed with Bradbury's work. I can't help but smile almost all the time, and these
stories always send chills down my spine. The writing style varies from story to story, some are a bit more free-flowing
(Bradbury seems to do very well with stories that just seem to jump from one place to another, yet somehow keep on track).
This is one to put in you permanent collection.
Spectre's Rating
Simply beautiful.
