Nice themes re imperial provincialism.

Very good. 'There will come soft rains' is my favorite. These stories really just put tomarrow's world in another perspective.

The only science fiction writer I have ever been able to get into. I read this novel in 9th grade and my belief in life on other planets grew deeper thanks to Ray. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a book signing a couple of years ago. How often do you get to chat with an author that you admire? He was so humble and kind. I told him how this book enlightened me to the possibilities of life on other planets.

I remember reading this as a kid, and I hated it.

Interesting Bradbury tale.

This is my all time favorite book. I read it every 10 years or so whether I need to or not

I was all fired up to read this book, but sadly, I found it to be unbearably.... dated, or something. All the analogies seemed too blunt - the stories not complicated enough.

My favorite book of all time!! Ray Bradbury blew my mind away with the various tales of Martian Life. I love the way he used the 'Fall of the House of Usher' to create part of the story. I actually wrote him a letter praising this book (@ that time I was in the tenth grade and I didn't realize he was deceased). Any sci-fi or mystery fan should read this book.
