By the time their parents notice and care, it may be too late. Spoiled children keep playing in a ‘virtual reality’ version of the African Veldt. “The Veldt.” This is a well known classic, but one that feels as fresh as ever. Some of the truly great stories in this collection are: While the language and circumstances may seem quaint to a modern reading, the messages and emotions are truly timeless. More than that, it is worth thinking about. Almost every word of this collection is worth reading. Some of Bradbury’s all time classics are here as well as his most important themes: Mars, Rockets, Family, and Midwestern Americana. This reads like the gems from a lifetime of writing Science Fiction and yet it is merely stories from 1947 through 1951.
It is easy to forget that this isn’t a “Best of Ray Bradbury” collection. Buy a copy from Amazon and support this blog. AVERAGE STORY: 4.16 6 great / 10 good / 3 average / 0 poor / 0 DNF.
