Summary
Sinister mushrooms growing in a dank cellar. A family's first glimpse at Martians. A wonderful white vanilla ice-cream summer suit that changes everyone who wears it. All those images and many more are inside this book, 31 of Bradbury's most arresting tales - timeless short fiction that ranges from the farthest reaches of space to the innermost stirrings of the heart.

Uninteresting
Mediocre stories of little interest and weak plot. Some good humor now and then, but not enough to make it work. Quit halfway
Decent narration.

Dialog shouted and exaggerated
Unfortunately the highly caricatured and shouted dialogue by the narrator spoils the crafted writing. Gave up listening.

A great selection
A great, generous and varied selection of sci-fi and speculative stories. There is the occasional stereotype that hasn’t aged so well (most of the stories were written in the 1950s), in particular the idea that the Irish need alcohol to operate, however nothing is meant with malice.
There are no chapter titles and with over 30 chapters / stories good luck finding a specific story you’d like to listen / re listen to.

Soft Narration But Shouted Dialogue.
The narrator is brilliant until it comes to the dialogue. Any emotional dialogue is about 200 decibels louder than the narration, making it impossible to listen to at night. It's a shame because he has an excellent voice. Far too shouty to be able to relax to, or to listen to on headphones.
