I have a hard time categorizing this book as a science fiction novel (or, rather, short story collection), as it reads much more like a fantasy book. That said, the writing is superb and the stories are thought provoking in all kinds of ways, so by all means, grab it and read it.

Personally, I have a hard time fully enjoying Bradbury due to the above mentioned fantasy-esque qualities of his stories. It's just not what I'm looking for.
