This book was an easy read that left me contemplating at the end of each story. This is compilation of short stories involving the future and all tied together by being written in moving picture form across the flesh of the Illustrated Man. Each story is unique and teaches a lesson about the human spirit - some of these lessons are a brutal reflection of the negative and other stories show that hope can prevail. There were very few happy endings in the stories, but the sad stories still had a great lesson to teach about what lies inside a person. It really was quite intriguing.These stories were written in the late 1940s and early 1950s and it's very interesting that the majority of the stories about the future involved rockets, space travel, and life on other planets. It's funny how the future back then all focused on the discovery of what is out there in space, yet current books about the future more involve the collapse of current social systems and reconstruction of society. Maybe I don't read very much Sci-Fi, but it seems to me that the outlook of the future has changed since the 1950s. I really found this book intriguing. Each and every story left me thinking about something. It was very thought provoking.
First, the cover was much different than the picture listed. But it proved to be a great thing, the cover I received was really bright and it showed the tattoos on the back of a turned away man. Perfectly fitting for the book. As far as the content, let me tell you this : I read the first few pages and told my husband how great it was. He then took it, began reading and I did not get it back until he was finished with it. It is great. Full of interesting stories that leave you still thinking about them. Wonderfully written. Expected nothing less than perfection coming from Ray Bradbury. <3 And YES it arrived just days later. Safe packaging. Great buy!
I have yet to read a book that has so many different social commentaries packed into such a small space. I originally read this when I was in the seventh grade, and it's crazy because every time I've read it since then (4 times) you find something different that you didn't see before.Also, Ray Bradbury is definitely a time traveler from the future - you'll know what I mean when you buy this book.That being said, if you can't buy into stories about the future, and time travel, or the fact that the entire book is based off some guys moving tattoos, than you don't have the intellect to be able to read this book.If you want to explore themes that tackle tough issues, like spoiling children, race, religion, and many many more, then.... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? BUY IT ALREADY!!!
I've read the book, multiple times, during my younger days and have misplaced it. I just wanted another one, to take with me hiking and read again. It is a Great Book, full of multiple science fiction stories, that will take you away from your Day-to-Day worries and make you Wish at other times. The book arrived to my home in a short reasonable time, packed very well and the condition of it was as stated by the company that I bought it from. Thank You!
One of my favorite authors, Bradbury is like none other. I read this book of short stories in my teens, and find it now, in my middle age years, to be much richer and more poetic than I did then. A must read for any sci-fi fan. Though the references to the 1990's and obvious (though unintended, I'm sure) sexism may cause a cringe or two for some, I suggest reading with an open and discerning mind. These stories are more cautionary tales than prophecy.
The sleeping man's tattoos come to life revealing stories of space travel, mysteries and the future. Ray Bradbury's classic book of many different stories written with his own twist. Who can forget some of the best descriptive words ever written in the first paragraph of -The Long Rain? "It was a hard rain, a perpetual rain, a sweating and steaming rain; it was a mizzle, a downpour, a fountain, a whipping in the eyes, an undertow at the ankles; it was a rain to drown all rains and the memory of rains." Wonderful!
Reading the stories is like watching a few gours of the Twilight Zone: a series of mid-century morality plays with uncanny similarities to the real world despite sci-fi settings. Some stories are ironic, some existentially terrifying, some cathartic, and some a little bit weak. Bradbury's way of weaving metaphors and figurative language over several paragraphs even in the midst of a relatively mundane storyline is always satisfying.
