My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is really great! But the first short story "the Veldt" gave me the shivers. The book was published in 1951 but almost perfectly describes today's smart home. The children are raised by the technology in the home with no love for their real parents. And when that technology is threatened. ..yikes! The rest of the short stories combine to make the main story of the illustrated man come alive.
I'm reading The Haunting of Brynn Wilder with its own illustrated man and this book was mentioned several times. So I put the Haunting down for a bit to read Bradbury. Now to finish my original book!
