2.0

This book was written in the late 1940s and published in 2000. What has the potential to be an epic gothic tale was marred by racist language, using mental health as a “creep” factor, and controlling a women to kiss a man with her explicitly saying no. I am saddened that Ray Bradbury did not grow enough as an author/person in the fifty years to update the novel before publication. Because it could have been amazing but is just problematic.
