I
read Ray Bradburys The Martian Chronicles. I really enjoyed reading these short
stories. This is my kind of science fiction. They are beautifully written. I
love the twist and turns. We are not on Mars we have traveled back in time! They
remind me of the twilight zone in a wonderful way. You can relate to the
martins on mars and care about them. I have to say my favorite story is still
the first one. The woman who dreams an alien man from earth that sweeps her off
her feet. The ending is not black and white but by hints and assumptions you
know that her husband shot the earth man. The story that I thought was kind of
confusing was the Earth Men. It didn’t really make sense to me. How could they
believe anything is real if their race is so capable of creating hallucinations
telepathically? They must have tests that can prove what is real and what is
fake. Shooting people because you think they are insane is pretty harsh. I just
feel like this story has a few holes in it. Overall the book is a page turner
and a delight to read.
