Customer Reviews

"Skin illustrations, the sign of an artist".

"Eighteen illustrations, eighteen tales." "The illustrations came to life..." A man is encountered who has Skin Illustrations all over his body. Each illustration represents a tale from the future. The illustrations come to life and tell a tale of doom or impending doom. In this way, Ray Bradbury can tell related but different tales in this book. It's Bradbury's writing style and dialogue that hold you as much as the storyline. At first, they are intriguing and fresh. Later, they don't repeat as much but are similar in form and function. One of the best is "The Veldt" is the first. Of course, everyone will have a different favorite. I suggest that you make your cats leave the room if you read "The Veldt" aloud.
