Very good. A little dated, but still fun to read ... and think about.

I actually listened to this on BBC Radio 4 (here). This was a great adaptation which I enjoyed although it was very clear that these stories were loosely woven together with a series of short, interstitial vignettes for publication.

Wow! This book was a great experience from start to finish. It has a wide berth and captures so many emotions and grand ideals.

Que forma de escribir! Que forma de narrar!! Nunca pensé que la ciencia ficción podría ser escrita de esta forma. Me ha encantado, coronado como top 3 libros favoritos y en un futuro relectura asegurada!

Bradbury's work continues to transcend time and provide painfully relevant and thought provoking material.

Lu avec les cinquièmes. Pas sûr que ça leur ait plu. Je ne m'attendais pas à ça. Un roman philosophique à mes humbles yeux.

Awesome, fast, slow, bizarre, sparing.

Ray Bradbury lacks both vision of the future and imagination. “The Martian Chronicles” are hugely overrated and I don't think they deserve the moniker “sci-fi classic”.

I really can't tell you why I put off reading this for literal years, it's so good.

This is a very good collection of stories, all tied together in a nice alternative world. The writing is elegant and so the scenes come out of the pages in very vivid color. Classy.
