Illustrated
Man
By Ray Bradbury
This
is one sleeper of a science-Fiction book. I came across
this book, and the version I got my hands on, had no
sleeve over the cover. It was a solid black cover, with
only the title on the cover. I had never read ray Bradbury,
so I thought I was taking a chance. It was well worth
it. The book has great descriptions of different planets
as well as different time periods. The second surprising
thing is the fact it was published in 1951. The story
lines and descriptions are as fresh as any book of this
genre written today. Then when you factor in how good
the dialogue is and how easy it is to follow, it is
easy to see how this is a great read. The only regret
is not reading this sooner, as I would have loved to
write and or talk to Ray. This is the first and only
book I have read of his, yet on the strength of this
book, I would recommend any of his work. If they are
as good as this, you cannot go wrong.
