lairedae 's review for:
The October Country
by Ray Bradbury
True story, it's Stephen King's fault I had to pick this up. The main character of [b:The Long Walk|9014|The Long Walk|Stephen King|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1309212400s/9014.jpg|522169] brought up the story "The Crowd" during his travel, and it piqued my curiosity enough for me to hunt it down. And somehow, I even decided to just buy it. I'm glad I did. It's a wonderful collection of quirky weird. Favourite stories? The two with Uncle Einar, because he's a lovely character and it was neat to see him twice in the anthology. (I also now see that there's another anthology that features the entire family - will have to hunt that down.) I also quite enjoyed "The Next in Line". It was an odd one when I first read it, but it's actually stuck with me pretty hard. All in all, a great introduction to the author for me.
