Ratings and reviews

I haven't read this anthology, but I have read several of the books included here. I was probably around 12 myself when I woke from childhood and discovered Mr Bradbury and others like him. He was my "Mr Magico" and I recommend him highly!

This collection had it all! Fantasy, science fiction, theory novels, and much more! This complication of amazing writing will keep you interested and hooked throughout every single story!
