 The Illustrated Man is a Classic June 17, 2000

This was my first Bradbury book and it made me a fan. I truly enjoyed the way this series of stories is presented through the tattoos of a stranger. All the stories are very creative and keep your interest throughout the book. A work of extreme greatness to say the least. It merits the title of a 'Classic'.

"The Illustrated Man" is the ultimate culmination of mystery, suspense, action, intrigue, and science fiction. The book grabbed me from the moment I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It was gripping and inventive at the same time, the fact that the novel was a collection of short stories tied together by one character gives sort of a fourth person perspective. There is a morbid, almost mean spirited side to the stories, but that only adds to the philosophical and intellectual value of the book. All science fiction readers would love this novel.
It's a classic! June 11, 2000

I was first introduced to Ray Bradbury when i had to read Farenheit 451 for a summer assignment in my freshman accelerated english class. I enjoyed the book and decided to give his other works a try. I have read this book about 3 times now because it is so great!

I was NOT forced to read this wonderful book, and I was NOT "pulled away from video games and TV" to read it (that "stereotype" offends me). I enjoyed this book because it had some ideas that I have never thought about before (no, not all 13 year olds are idiots who can't think deeply), such as ZERO HOUR. Some stories were neat because you could see what people thought the future would be like. It is a window into the darker side of technology and mankind, and is NOT RESTRICTED TO STEREOTYPICAL ADULTS-KIDS CAN READ IT TOO.
I enjoyed the book! September 6, 1999

I have read the book for an assignment in honors English class. I am a high school student and I would like to ask a question to those "children" who suppossedly read the book. How old are you? Most of you who wrote reviews didn't deserve to put your crude comments in whereas you should not have read the book unless you were mature enough to read it. I thought that it was a pretty good book. It may not be one of his best, but it was good enough! I liked "The Other Foot" because it made me realize how much racist criticism there is in the world and it was great to read how they built a new sense of community =)
