Intro: Why this book isn't in the all time top 100 books list is beyond me. I think it is widely overlooked, unrecognized and yet after you read these stories you see that just about every science fiction writer, screen play writer has borrowed from the genius that lays between the covers of Illustrated Man. Nothing short of awesome. The Veldt and The Rocketman jump out at you. If you don't get the multiple spiritual, emotion, science ties in these then I am sorry. Love it love it love it.

This is what I expected of Ray Bradbury - horror, science fiction, and some introspective thoughts on what it means to be human, well, specifically a man.

A good collection and the narrator was pretty good throughout.
