A few stories didn't really do anything for me, but as a whole this is a very strong collection with a great frame narrative, and Ray Bradbury was just better at short stories than almost any other writer.

I liked some stories, the one that stuck with me the most was the rain on venus.

Each short story left such a shocking impression, and all the detail Bradbury puts into the worlds he is envisioning for you is amazing.
