  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

When I started reading, the stories were too strange for me and I thought I wouldn’t like the book, but halfway through I realized I was still thinking about most of the earlier stories, and at the end I was enjoying the book a lot. My favourite stories were The Next in Line, Skeleton, The Small Assassin, The Crowd and The Wind. Radbury writes very poetically and every story was a joy to read.
