books by Ray Bradbury     books:       The Martian Chronicles (The Grand Master Editions)311 reviews Ray Bradbury Spectra, 1984 A great indroduction to Bradbury's work. Ray Bradbury is a timeless author. His storytelling borders on poetic. The Martian Chronicles was the first book of his I had ever read. After 15 years I just completed my second reading and am no less moved by his work. A lot is accomplished in this short work of science fiction and fantasy. Its opening chapters center around Earthmen attempting to land on Mars and communicate with its not so ...             SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES203 reviews RAY BRADBURY GRAFTON BOOKS, 1977 A Lyrical Journey Through the Essence of Good and Evil This is Bradbury's finest novel, in my opinion. All of Bradbury's fiction is lyrical in nature, but in this work his prose flows quickly and magically from the first page to the last. The book is closer to horror than sci-fi, but I regard it as simply a great novel and believe that its universal theme of good vs. evil qualify it as literary fiction of the highest order. It is a book I read ...             Dandelion Wine RAY BRADBURY Bantam Books, 1969             Fahrenheit 4511251 reviews Ray Bradbury Del Rey, 1987 The Third Great Dystopian Novel Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" is one of his finest works. It was first published in October of 1953, and then serialized in the March - May issues of Playboy magazine. The novel originally began as a short story "Bright Phoenix", though that was not published until 1963, and from there it was lengthened into the novelette "The Fireman" which was published in February of 1951 in "Galaxy ...             Fahrenheit 4517 reviews Ray Bradbury HarperVoyager, 2004 It was a pleasure to burn.... I can't believe that some people could read this book and not understand why it is important. This book is a classic for a reason. Underneath the dystopian surface are truths- and frightening resemblances to our own society. When I read this for the first time, I was shocked and pleased to hear that there is someone else who thinks like me. Thank you, Mr. Bradbury, for turning a critical eye ...             The Illustrated Man (Grand Master Editions)204 reviews Ray Bradbury Spectra, 1983 That uncanny way--"Illustrating" in brutal honesty of humans I've read many of the 1 star reviews of this book. And I repeatedly told them that to enjoy any science fiction, you must suspend their disbelief. The reader must judge the truth of what happens within the scope of the world created by the author, not by the world as we know it. Sure there are always going to be opinions and I take that for granted. Keeping in mind that Ray Bradbury has an ...             Dandelion Wine258 reviews Ray Bradbury PS Publishing, 2007 Summer School Book Talk I taught summer school this year, and I use this to "break the ice." We listened to the chapter about buying new shoes as a summer tradition and how "new shoes would make [him] run faster." Dandelion Wine is more memoire, although it has some elements of fantasy in it. It's a feel-good book about being a kid, enjoying summer, and recognizing that life is passing but that what's in the here and ...             The War of the Worlds With Audio CD: Mars' Invasion of Earth, Inciting Panic and Inspiring Terror from H.G. ...12 reviews Inc. Sourcebooks Sourcebooks MediaFusion, 2003 Incredibly full of everything War of the worlds This book is incredible. I got it for my birthday 5 years ago and I still love reading it today. It holds everything about war of the worlds you could want. it has the original story with all the pictures, it has the writing of the terrifying 1938 Orson Welles radio broadcast, (as well as peoples reactions to it), biographies of orson welles and H.G. wells and much more observing every movie, ...             Dandelion Wine (Grand Master Editions)258 reviews Ray Bradbury Spectra, 1985 Summer School Book Talk I taught summer school this year, and I use this to "break the ice." We listened to the chapter about buying new shoes as a summer tradition and how "new shoes would make [him] run faster." Dandelion Wine is more memoire, although it has some elements of fantasy in it.

The authors of the stories are all masters of the writing profession - Tanith Lee, Ray Bradbury, Fred Saberhagen, Morgan Llywelyn, and others. The book is arranged into two groups: The Little People, and Literary Fantastics, but don't imagine that it is quite that clear. The stories all range in setting from the ancient ...             Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales11 reviews Ray Bradbury Harper Perennial, 2005 An Outstanding Collection, Indeed Re: Mr Deusner's review from September 12, 2003, "but where are "The Scythe," "The Crowd," and "Homecoming" from THE OCTOBER COUNTRY? What happened to "The Picasso Summer" and (a personal favorite) "Some Live Like Lazarus"?" Those are in "The Stories of Ray Bradbury" (1980), a marvellous collection of 100 stories. This collection has another hundred - no overlap, which makes it an essential ...             Ray Bradbury The Martian Chronicles Ray Bradbury Doubleday, 2001 Book is not available on amazon             The October Country38 reviews Ray Bradbury Del Rey, 1985 read and reread A gem. Thematically, the stories are not all that close, but they have great suspense, drama, interesting characters. Memorable.             The collected works of Buck Rogers in the 25th century (A & W visual library)2 reviews Robert C Dille A & W Publishers, 1977 Was Lost and Now is Found I owned a copy of this book when it came out in 1969 and sadly lost it somewhere along the decades since. I am so happy to find it again. I agree with what the previous review has to say about the book; it certainly does give us insight into the social mindset of the times. Not only does Buck Rogers represent a compendium of social mores, it is worthy for the art and shows us a time line of ...             The Halloween Tree41 reviews Ray Bradbury Bantam, 1974 The is no one better than Brabbury at evoking bizarre and detailed imagery When it comes to using words to evoke bizarre and stimulating imagery, there is no one better than Ray Bradbury. This book is an adventure conducted by young male trick-or-treaters on a spooky Halloween night. They walk up to the door of the local haunted house and somehow one of them, a boy named Pip, is whisked away to a bizarre place. The mysterious Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud agrees to help ...             The small house half-way up in the next block;: Paul Rhymer's Vic and Sade2 reviews Paul Rhymer, Mary Frances Rhymer, ... McGraw-Hill, 1972 Vic and Sade - a laugh riot! Never heard of Vic and Sade? Ray Bradbury, Jean Shepherd, Edgar Guest, James Thurber, and many others praised them to the skies (or "to the collective snoots of a mountain climbing expedition" as young Rush Gook might put it). Vic and Sade was a 12 minute daily radio show that was broadcast for over a decade in the 1930's and 40's. It was 3 parts Mark Twain, 2 parts Green Acres, and 6 parts ...             Farewell Summer16 reviews Ray Bradbury Harper, 2007 I almost can't put it in words. I read this book in one sitting, just over a month ago, and I'm still finding it hard to put it in words just how powerful it was for me. I had just read Dandelion Wine and moved straight on into Farewell Summer. The cumulative effect was nothing less than awe-inspireing, and I really think it's how you should go about reading the two works, almost as one. Dandelion Wine is without a doubt a ...             R Is for Rocket3 reviews Ray Bradbury Bantam Books, 1966 17 Stories by the master of the weird and wonderful Few writers possess the extraordinary imagination of Ray Bradbury. This anthology collects seventeen short stories about space and its exploration, my favorites being "The Rocket Man" and "The Long Rain". The latter story I read while in high school and developed an instant taste for Bradbury's work.             The Homecoming (Wonderfully Illustrated Short Pieces) Ray Bradbury Collins Design, 2006 Illustrated classics for adults!
