The Martian Chronicles Audiobook

" This was a rather dark book about the nature of man and what the author thinks would have happened if humans went to Mars. The idea was very interesting to me, the story telling was sort of fast and choppy. I know that these were separate short stories originally published as newspaper articles (or a magazine) so keep that in mind when you read this. It's not really a novel. But I don't mind reading classic books :) "

" The writing was very evocative, and it was certainly imaginative. But I found it too dated; I don't think it has aged well. "

" This book is a true science fiction classic. Bradbury captures readers by the many anecdotal stories within the book. Every chapter reveals something new about the setting, mood, and theme of the book. "

" This view into the future showed us the flaws of the present. I loved the ideas. It was riviting. "

" Another okay adaptation but I prefer letting Bradbury's poetic prose create the images in my mind. "

" Wow.. wasn't feeling this one so much at first, but after the first third or so I was hooked. I haven't thought this much about a book post-read in a while. "

" Sometimes a little slow, but overall, sad and beautiful. Many stories are disturbing and haunting. "

" A book that feels your mind with curiosity and imagination. This book is filled with many twist and turns along with a few tragedies. This book has you a great look at human nature and is absolutely marvelous "

" Que buen libro de Bradbury, un gusto de lectura "

" The visuals are amazing "

" Worth re-reading or reading for the first time. Story of humanity on SF garb. "

" Overall this was a good book. Parts of the story were excellent and parts were difficult to get through. It was an interesting treatise on a hypothetical colonization of Mars. We'll see in ~10 years how true it is when the first manned mission gets there (pending budget cuts of course).... "

" This is one of my new favorite books of all time. Bradbury is a master of atmosphere and mood--tense, dangerous, stark. Everything you've ever heard about the horrors and promise of space, this collection jumps it up a level. "

" A must have read SF drama........... "

" The is something so human to Bradbury's tales, even when they are set on another planet. "

" Not very memorable characters but still very imaginative. "

" Perfect read for the rapture. "

" Fanastic, dark, filled with horror and aliens. "

" Ray Bradbury!Amazing metaphors and relevance to society, the human character, and the devastation that is likely to come to our planet. Read and consider. "

" Ray Bradbury is one of the world's great story-tellers, and this is one of his best works. "

" 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. "

" One of my favorite books to teach! So many issues were brought up. "

" I read this book because my book club chose to read it, but I did not like most of the short stories in this collection. It gets two stars because I liked a couple of the stories, otherwise it would have gotten one. "
