I loved the twist of the storyteller trope - a man telling stories not through words, but through the intricate imagery he carries - just like a poet.

Bradbury definitely has better stories. These are not those stories. It was a disappointing reading experience.

3.5. ES un libro de relatos cortos, califique cada uno y ninguno bajo de las tres estrellas. Es un buen libro, pero yo no soy muy fan de los cuentos cortos. Algunos me gustaron muchísimo, Ray Bradbury tiene un.estilo bastante característico que hace de sus relatos algo muy interesante. Los mejores para mí fueron los últimos y el primero. En el medio me aburrí de algunos relatos aunque no eran malos.

Black Mirror habrá cogido inspiración de estos cuentos. Son realmente buenos, pero hay algunos que bajan mucho de calidad y se hacen pesados y lentos.
Es el primer libro de este gran escritor que leo, le seguirán más porque me ha gustado como escribe y su imaginación.

Not my favorite read, but it had a lot of fun and interesting ideas to discuss in book club! Lots of stories with deep underlying themes regarding human behavior and interaction. This short story collection was written in the early 50's and has some eerily correct predictions about the future and modern society.
