I pay particular attention to Ray Bradbury as an author, having read him since I was a pre-teenager. Now I'm a philosophy student in college, and despite having become much, much more 'sophisticated' in my literary tastes, I still enjoy Bradbury. I suppose you could think of me as a collector of sorts, and through the years, I have not found a better collection of his work. Bradbury is famed in the general public for "Farenheit 451," or perhaps his "Something Wicked This Way Comes," or even, occasionally, for "The Martian Chronicles." But the reader who would like to see Bradbury at his finest should pick up this collection. An eclectic, self-taught writer, Bradbury's stories carry a tremendous appeal level for me. All literary considerations aside, Bradbury surely must be the greatest living storyteller. Occasionally, he will even wax philosophical with some tremendous insights. The only difficulty with being a Bradbury fan is that he has written SO MUCH that it's tough to even begin to keep track of. But, if I had to recommend one starting point, I'd choose this anthology. And it's at a reasonable price, to top it off.

If there is a master of the short story with a twist, it would have to be Ray Bradbury. These stories are all magnificent, and there is not one that will disappoint you. They will sadden you, make you laugh, make you think, horrify you and please you, but they will NEVER disappoint you.

If you were a fan of the series "The Twilight Zone", you will love these stories. If you like science fiction in general you will love these stories. If you are a devotee at literature at its best, you will never forget these stories. Add this to your collection today!

This book is terrific! I've gotten into the habit of reading a story to my ten year old son every night. In this way he's had a positive introduction to incredible Bradbury stories. I've shared with him some of my favorites: The Veldt, The Night, The Black Ferris, and more! If I was stranded on a deserted island this would be the one book I'd like along with me.

The list of Bradbury's stories seems endless. It would take much time and money to collect them all. But, through the miracle of this book we are able to get all of Ray's best stories in one collection. It's definatley worth the price.

This is an outstanding book full of wonderful short stories. Even if you are one of those people who says "Bradbury? Oh I don't like science fiction", trust me if you have any sense of taste whatsoever you will like this book! It contains 900 pages, all of them good.

I was not dissapointed with any of the stories. There's nothing like the science fiction Ray Bradbury writes. Each short story kept me captivated and wanting more from the characters. A real good read for thought provoking conversation.

I have searched and searched for this book for years and everywhere I looked people told me it was out of print. REJOICE, REJOICE!! I've finally found it!! A collection of stories that will take you on a magical journey through time, space, and all levels of psychological euphoria. Ray Bradbury is THE most brilliant science fiction writer of our time and this book reflects his ability to convey the very deepest emotion through what may seem at first glance like meerly words on a page. The best story in this book is "The Man".

The man is the best. I don't read as much as I used to, but when i read Bradbury, I always have the time. This collection contains almost EVERYTHING!!! My absolute most favorite story I would have to say is "A Sound of Thunder." It is scary as hell, and yet so intriguing. The best, people.

I've been a Ray Bradbury fan for 23 years, since I first read my brother-in-law's copy of Something Wicked This Way Comes and it scared the living daylights out of me. This fantastic anthology encompasses the best of his work, including stories from the Martian Chronicles, works on the wonderful, truly fly-by-night Family, his Mexican mummy stories, and one of the most heartwrenching sea monster stories ever written, The Fog Horn. Readers of Dandelion Wine will be interested in preliminary and alternate versions of some of those stories, which also appear here. This book would be a wonderful gift for any Bradbury fan anywhere.
