This review is from: Ray Bradbury's the Martian Chronicles (Mass Market Paperback)

From the sixth through the tenth grade, I read this book at least twice a year. I did a book report on it at least once a year (depending on whether I had a new english teacher or not). It is a collection of short stories about Mars, arranged into chronilogical order, from the first man to set foot on Mars, down to the destruction of the Earth and chronicles the demise of the native martians and the colonization of Mars by Humans over a period of about a century.

Not all of the stories are of equal length or quality; most are great, but some are mediocre. A couple of highlights for me were the story about the House of Usher, which is where some one recreates the stories of Edgar Allan Poe in a house on Mars, and also all the bits with the native Martians. This is one of my very favorite books of all time.

This review is from: Ray Bradbury's the Martian Chronicles (A Guide to Understanding the Classics) (Paperback)

I think that the Martian Chronicles is a cool book and should have Cliff Notes.I also think that the with the whole story being about the future it has some really cool stuff in it.
