A review by whoischels
The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury

adventurous medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Was excited to read this for the first time, then realized a few stories in that I had already read it about six years ago. Do with that info what you will. Some of these stories are very haunting and explore really brilliant ideas. Some of these stories are not very good. I will rate each story with a number, the way I've seen others do in their reviews.
