A review by troe
The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury

adventurous mysterious fast-paced

4.0

Really enjoyed the conceit of a man's magical tattoos telling all these weird stories. They're mainly sci-fi in nature, and very of there time in places: a lot of them feature rockets, all the technology is very mechanical (Ray did not see software coming!) and all the social norms stay more or less unchanged. As with all short story collections, enjoyed some more than others - the one set on a planet where it literally never stops raining and sends the men stranded there steadily mad felt relatable as someone currently living through a really lousy British summer.
