Summary
The Illustrated Man, a seminal work in Ray Bradbury's career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time's passage....
Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. For this peerless American storyteller, the most bewitching force in the universe is human nature. In these 18 startling tales unfolding across a canvas of tattooed skin, living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Provocative and powerful, The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth - as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.

excellent sinister sci-fi short stories.
deeply unsettling and thought provoking. Would recommend. somewhat Martian focused but that was the trend at the time, even so many of the stories have aged remarkably well.

Absolutely incredible!
It is mind blowing that Ray Bradbury was able to create such a chilling view of the future back in 1951! I loved it!

Great short stories
Would recommend. Really worth a listen and the narrating was fantastic. If you like stories with depth and plenty of them a reflection into modern life even after all this time.

Classic sci fi
Well read, bought back good memories of the sci fi I use to read. Took me away on some of my bus journeys, my mind on Mars or in a rocket ship. lovely

Old for new
These are old stories that still bring new shivers and awakenings. Excellent The Other Foot, should be made an educational tool.

A bit of a departure for me, but a happy one
This isn't what I'd normally read, but I really enjoyed it. Many twists and turns and didn't bore me at all.
Scott Brick, you are an AMAZING reader.

Good read
One of those books I've been meaning to read half my life. I feel I need to read it again to contemplate the full meaning. I love the imagery and illusions that Bradbury illustrates in my brain. I'm glad I read it.

beautiful
Bradbury places us in these imaginary elsewheres, which is his device to tenderly illustrate who we actually are - if we care to look.
The narration felt natural, like Rod Serling
