Bradbury wrote beautifully, I agree, and in a way you could understand easily. Even his sf and fantasy books are uncomplicated. Maybe, that's why he is also read by people who read in other genres. I intend to reread this book.Prashant C.

My ...Hopping over from R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril...<br />My tastes fall enough between genres that this book might work for me. I reviewed Doomsday Book by Connie Willis yesterday for RIP -- kind of a sci fi, historical, medical thriller. It worked for me but probably wouldn't for every one. <br /><br />Love those descriptive quotes.
