I have read him many years ago in spanish and they are some of the literature I haven't forgotten. Now, I decided to read these book again, but in its original language. They are the class of material I like to have close and so be able to review when I want.

This book is one of the first (of Ray Bradbury) that I picked up and the great aspect of Bradbury is that his stories are accessible to anyone. Meaning, some deal with death while others are creepy, and he also writes some cute and funny stories as well. It is a series of stories written about the expeditions and inhabitants of Mars and the table of contents read like a journal: Jan. 1999, April 2003...etc. but can be read individually. There is one story about astronaunts that land and notice that Mars looks exactly like Earth: Trees, air, buildings...and so they wonder if they got sidetracked or something and then notice long-departed family members so they wonder: Is Mars heaven? I actually saw this story on TV performed by Hal Linden so I always have his likeness stamped into this story...lol Another one is "The Off-Season" and it is a story about the last settler on Mars--part of the the story backline--don't want to give it away: A couple with a hot dog stand and they come upon the 'last' martian...very funny story... Anyways, I highly recommend this book to any lover of sci-fi or great storytelling: Ray Bradbury is the MAN!!!Read full review
The book was a great read. I choose it for my summer reading and i was satisfied with it. It was funny because the book was at the time talking about the future, however it was written in the 40's, so now the times they were talking about had passed. The ending takes place farther ahead than the rest of the book, 2026 or so. Even though it is still the future of now, it is still way off of how it will be. however it is interesting the see how they thought it might be in the 21st century. i would recommend it to anyone in high school.
reading this older book was fun. their future is coming true. worth reading loved the book.
