Book Review: The Illustrated Man

“Sixteen Illustrations, sixteen tales. I counted them one by one.”
The Illustrated Man, Ray Bradbury

The book is basically a collection of short stories unified by the fact that they are all playing out on the Illustrated Man’s body. I found it interesting and it’s easy to fall into. I love Bradbury, and throughout the entire book there are just unmistakable elements of him that make the book a pleasure to read. It’s not my favourite Bradbury, that would have to be Fahrenheit 451, but it’s definitely a nice, easy read. 3.5/5 stars.
