This review is from: R Is for Rocket (Paperback)
This is another book of short stories from the master writer Ray Bardbury. The shortest in the collection is three pages and the longest is forty-seven, but most are around ten pages. As the title suggests most of these stories are science fiction, but some are fantasy and some are about the magic of every-day life. In many stories there is an atmosphere of small-town-America, an America which seems to have been lost since the 1950's. Not surprisingly most of the tales have a copyright date somewhere in that decade, but this did not spoil the book for me at all. The text is much too well drafted to suffer from minor points like that. This book is ideal if you only occasionally have an hour, or half an hour, to spare in a busy life. This book will dazzle you for that short time and leave you feeling like you have had a short holiday in another world.

This review is from: R Is for Rocket (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: R Is for Rocket (Paperback)
As you can probably guess from the title, a collection that is largely science fiction, including the famous dinosaur story (or two, if you like). Some of which of course will seem (and is) very old-fashioned. The novella 'Frost and Fire' perhaps being something of a different stripe.
