The Illustrated Man Audiobook

" I remember reading this in high school and i remember loving it so much. Will definately be a re-read in the future "

" Bradbury's stories can be provocative at times and touching at others, but many of them rehash the same concepts he seems hell-bent on pursuing, and show an extreme lack of vision and foresight. "

" Decided to revisit this one on audio. It was one of my favorites back in the 60's. It's funny how even science fiction can be "dated" but still it has universal themes that continue to resonate. "

" One of my all time faves! "

" very very good short stories "

" This was my 3rd Bradbury book (I've read Fahrenheit 451 and dandelion wine) and I loved it. The short story format was nice because I could get through each story quickly and have a nice stopping place. Bradbury proves he's adept with the shorter form and it was a nice change. "

" I really enjoyed this book immensely. Ray Bradbury is a fantastic author. "

" Read it in the 60s. Sadly, I remember little of it now, except for "The Veldt," about which I'll say only that it illustrates why you shouldn't always let children have their way. "

" An old favorite that I listened to recently. Good production of the stories. "

" The Sci-Fi is a little dated, but some really classic stories ... reminded me of episodes of the Twilight Zone. It's amazing what people can say about religion, race, politics in 5 pages. "

" I'm not a big sci-fi fan, but you don't have to be to love Bradbury. This remains my favorite collection of short stories. "

" Bradbury feels so familiar. Even when I know I haven't read a particular story, it feels like I have, only so long ago that I dont' remember anything about it except the feel of it. I think it's because he describes the things that a lot of people feel but could never ever put into words, so his words feel homey and comfortable because they're like your own, only more beautiful than your own. "

" Bradbury at his best "

" This book of short stories got me started on sci fi. Classic. "

" Finger-lickin' good. "

" Awesome collection "

" One of my favorite collections. "

" What a strange book. A series of short stories told by the tattoos on a man's back... "

" One of Bradbury's great short story collections, although the material is a bit dated the craft is timeless. "

" I read this as a teen and picked it up again for a story telling class I took at Northwestern. His innovated & conceptional thinking was far advanced for his time in this suspenceful well crafted book of short stories. "

" King of the short story format. Nobody beats Bradbury. "

" Some of the stories in this book haunt me still. They are well written; but best of all, they are well thought-out and make me think. "

" An interesting read. I'm not sure what to say about it, but I loved the ending. "

" Very thought provoking and chilling stories. "

" Great stories, wonderful and fantastic. "

" this is my all-time favorite sci-fi book. "

" Some of the stories were extremely thought provoking. Many, however, were simply a fascination with the future and space. "

" Some of these stories develop slowly but they will expand your mind. Bradbury takes you places you'd otherwise never go. "

" The concept of this is interesting, and the ending is brilliant. Love it. "

" A collection of short stories that I could not stop reading. Bradbury's imagination was endless. The stories are about a man with illustrations all over his body that come to life. Each story is of a different illustration. Fun to read "

" This sci-fi collection of short stories is really fun to read. Some of the stories are pretty bizarre and I like that. "

" I thought that many of the stories in this book were rather misogynist, featuring man-eating sex pots as the main female characters. I enjoyed the stories that seemed less misogynist, although many seemed quite quaint as far as the science goes. "

" The more I read his stuff, the more I love Ray Bradbury. A group of short stories with the unifying idea that they are tattoos on the illustrated man that move, shift and tell the future. "

" I this is a great collection of stories. If you like semi-realistic science fiction, you should check it out. Science fiction is not my favorite genre but I really enjoyed how these stories tied together with the same themes even though they are not related in any way. "

" My mind kept wandering a bit. I'm sure it was my mind and not the book. :) "

" I've lost my imagination by growing older, but this was my imagination when I was younger. I would like to go back and read it again one day. "

" Space is in all of these...just not really my thing! "

" Some of these short stories were okay. I will not go so far as to say that Bradbury recovered any of my respect after the Martian Chronicles, but I will say that reading this did not give me a hemorrhage. "

" This is a different copy mine was longer than 186 pg. I liked it because it was not a normal writing stile. "

" Reread these fabulous stories by the Grand Master of SF-Short Stories (besides PKD), enchanted again... "

" Perfect read for the rapture. "

" This was classic story telling, nothing superfluous. It was certainly interesting to see what the science fiction writers of 60 years ago thought about space travel and aliens. "

" Bradbury’s writing is entrancing, ensnaring, enigmatic, and exceptional. The Illustrated Man is so full of weirdness and beauty... possibly his best work. "
