recommended for: sci-fi shortstory fans
I was dissapointed by this work. First of all, It is nothing more than a collection of short stories, strung together with the thread that a man at a camp fire has tattoo's that come alive and tell stories...cut to already published stories from bradbury that are pretty hit or miss. His prose style is fine, but his future stories seem very dated. most read like parables, and are pretty easy to guess the ending/point, by the end of the first paragraph. if you want to read some great Bradbury, try Fahrenheit 451, or even better still his collection of essays.
