Ray Bradbury - The Martian Chronicles

5:31 am Books, Ray Bradbury, Sci-Fi

Just finished Ray Bradbury’s classic The Martian Chronicles. It’s a collection of short stories revolving around a general storyline: the early colonization of Mars through the settlement and then eventual desertion of Mars.
Though I found it tough to get through some of the stories, I liked the general storyline, and the stories picked up my interest in the last few stories, where Earth went to war with itself and was destroyed.

This book wasn’t one of my favourites of Bradbury’s. I would recommend someone new to Bradbury’s work to instead pick up Dandelion Wine, or Something Wicked This Way Comes. I think I still like Isaac Asimov more.
