rebeccabateman 's review for:

The October Country by Ray Bradbury
4.0

We read this aloud as a family.

My 11-year-old announced at the end of each of these stories, "That was stupid." What she's feeling, though, and not understanding is that they're not stupid (they're quite brilliant, actually). They're irritating. Bradbury's stories irritate and get under your skin.

I wasn't fond of all them. Some I really disliked. But the ones I did like, I loved.
