Classic, epic, and by no means platitudinous, is the novel, known far and wide, by Ray Bradbury. The Martian Chronicles is a piece of literature, nay a work of art, that boggles the mind with plausibilities, unique fantasy, expert craftsmanship and imagery that is simply superb. The book is a collection of "mini-stories", each building amazing scenery and voice; taking us from the existence and culture of the Martian race, to Earth's own expeditions to the red globe, and even to far beyond, colonization of the planet. Bradbury's incredible mind paints wonderous pictures of Martians that aren't incredulous, but believable. The book will pull any avid lover of the abstract, abnormal, and all that it is SCI-FI, into its clutches.Wonderful writing and awesome plot join the main peoples of Earth in their pilgrimage to Mars! This book is so much better if you read it by choice rather than in class; so make the best of a great book and do yourself a favor and read this classic.
Rating: 5Q, 3P.
