"Bradbury's writing style comes off as a creative writing student's attempt to impress a college professor with his ability to create poetry. The characters change their nature to fit the need of that chapter’s particular message, and the base writing style is so overstuffed with “deep” messages that one must put on protective gear to wade through the self-indulgence just to find out what the hell Bradbury was attempting to say. Crap book, end of story."

"Books which receive high praise and press due to the notoriety of the author, but which fail to take into consideration the actual content of said books, are a particularly annoying breed in my eyes. This book is one of the most dry, uninteresting and uninspired pieces of literature I have ever had the misfortune to read. Most cosmetic products put more effort into the descriptive text on their packaging than was put into this book."

"This book convinced me that Bradbury was into heavy psychedelic drugs while writing. Complete and utter crap with no coherency any well-balanced mind could lock on to."

"A story about a die-hard liberalist in the pupa stage of life, where the ending of the book champions the ideal of "Go along to get along". Terribly written and should be considered child abuse when highschoolers are forced to read it."

"I love Heinlein’s stories for the most part, but he does have some quirks readers have to endure if they want to get through his books. In this particular story he attempts to break down the barriers of taboo relating to sexuality and all he accomplishes is a pathetic attempt to justify his lust for his own family members."

"Mayberry is the “Tyler Perry” of literature. The only reason his books continue to get published is because they make money. If this author was judged by the merit and quality of his writing instead of the bottom line of his publisher’s coffers, he would have faded into obscurity long ago."
