Man, turns out that classic works of sci-fi are highly regarded for a reason. This book is great! I read this book for a college course, and I gained a lot from reading these stories as a part of a group. Bradbury does a phenomenal job of writing his stories to be compelling on all levels: the literal, thematic, and prose levels of his writing are all excellently refined. Any science fiction fantasy fan should pick up this book at least once in their life.
