I Sing the Body Electric! Audiobook

" if love is handing us back to ourselves just a little better than we remember, then i am love. "

" I didn't read much of this, but enough to remember why I don't like short stories. You just can't sink your teeth into them ! Too short, too quickly read, not enough development, etc. so I'm finished. Too many other good books out there and not enough time to read them all !! But, I do like Bradbury and these stories, at least the ones I read, are pretty good. "

" Bradbury writes jewels of stories, some of which burnish beautifully with time and mean more to me than when I first read them (the title story is a good example, as is the psychological horror in "Heavy-Set" and the understated hope and tragedy of "The Kilimanjaro Device"). Others I understand better than when I was a teen, but that doesn't necessarily mean they age well ("The Cold Wind and the Warm" and "The Haunting of the New" annoy me more as I get older, even as I understand the implications better). But in general, you can't go wrong with Bradbury's gorgeous prose and lyrical narrative. "

" A great collection of stories "

" Audibook "

" I haven't read enough books to truly critique this collection. I did want to say, though, that while it didn't turn out to be something that consistently drew me into its words, some of the stories did contain what I would describe as magnificent writing--good for a satisfying suckling from this babe. "

" This book has a pretty interesting collection of short stories. Some are great and present some really cool ideas and others make you want to rush through and get to the next story. It's worth a read if you like Ray Bradbury. "

" Oh, the cruelty of children. This story will make you sad you didn't spend more time with your grandmother, you selfish little runt. "

" My favorite collection of Bradbury short stories. "

" It's really hard to rate a collection of short stories, but I think my overall impression is an even mix of good and skim-worthy. However, I did walk away with some favorite stories like "The Lost City of Mars" and "I Sing the Body Electric" which I'll probably reread in the future. "

" In turns melancholy, darkly funny, and frightening, this collection of short stories was difficult to finish, but only because I didn't want it to end. The final piece, a poem called "Christus Apollo" almost brought tears to my eyes. "

" I'm always looking for a book that will better than "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and I still haven't found it. But I still like you, Mr. Bradbury. "

" Aaaand...this is what I've been telling you people about ray bradbury: short stories are where it's at for him, not novels. Holy crap, blows Farenheit 451 outta the freakin water. "

" One of my favorite Ray Bradbury collections; haven't read it in years, but enjoyed it when I read it. "

" Pure and classic sci-fi "

" I knew I would love this book but "I Sing The Body Electric" may have become my favorite Bradbury short story. (And that's including every treasure in "The Illustrated Man"!) The last two stories of the book left me feeling quite disturbed. Sci-fi creep master Ray Bradbury. "

" Good but not my favorite Bradbury "

" Listened to "The Haunting of the New", "The Cold Wind and the Warm". "

" Strange and moody short-stories that will let you think a little differently. "

" So many great stories. Dizzying. "

" I Sing the Body Electric was the only story I liked in this collection. "

" This had some incredible stories in it, and some that were not. "

" As always, I find it hard to give a star rating to a collection of short stories. some were slam-dunk fives, but some were barely threes for me. Bradbury is a master of this format, but not all of them were that interesting to me. "

" Not much else to say but- masterfully done. If you want to be whisked away in 10,000 different directions this is the book for you. You'll laugh at the humor, balk at the seriousness, gasp at the thrills and even furrow your brow a time or two. Unmistakably brilliant. "

" golden bradbury. i love his ideas so much. "

" Same review as for every collection of his short stories: Read it when you are a kid or forget it. "

" I'm halfway through and think this is a wonderful wonderful set of stories. I forgot how compelling a storyteller Ray Bradbury is. "

" Bradbury is a master story teller, and a man with some really interesting ideas. His stories linger in the mind long after they've been read. "

" Mostly reprints of stuff I'd already read; the stuff I hadn't read wasn't noteworthy. "

" All of my reviews for Bradbury probably sound very much alike, but I can't help it if it's consistently awesome. "

" if love is handing us back to ourselves just a little better than we remember, then i am love. "

" a couple of stories were pretty good... the rest: meh "

" Classic Bradbury - funny, frightening, touching, and always sung onto the page with furious poetry. Not quite his best, but better than most everyone else's. "
