kimily 's review for:
The October Country
by Ray Bradbury
Wow, so this book is really pretty cool. I like to read short story collections, and normally, one recognizes a theme running through the story. October Country, however, is like visiting a big box store on samples day. You can't predict what you'll taste next, but, whether good or bad, you're eager for the next sample. Some of the stories that stood out for me were The Scythe, The Wind, The Watchful Poker Chip..., and The Wonderful Death of Dudley Stone. Honestly, I think the only story I didn't like was The Next in Line. Prior to reading The October Country, the only writing I had read by Mr. Bradbury was Zen in the Art of Writing. I think it's time I expanded my repertoire.
