Overall I wouldn't recommend it, no. If you could get a hold of the short story yes, but not in this form. Very much not convinced by him as a writer. Can't say I'll be searching out any more of his stuff. :\

Well sir, then you don't know a good novel when you read one. Orwell is 10 times the writer Bradbury could ever hope to be. :|
