muffin’s Reviews > The Illustrated Man (Flamingo Modern Classics) by Ray Bradbury (14-Nov-2005) Paperback > Status Update

Really resonated with the highway, what a visceral way to capture how transient dread can feel. It really reminded me of our current situation in the world. how one second you can know nothing about the situation, then the next discover a devastating truth. you become overwhelmed by dread. but the moment passes, and you feel kind of normal again. so captivating and effective.

current thoughts: loved the second short story “Kaleidoscope”, a really potent and beautiful vignette. i went into this book completely blind but im very satisfied so far, i wonder if there’s a story that ties it all together at the end or if its more just an anthology
