Student Recommendations for

Ray Bradbury

 


Dandelion Wine

This book was really different, but really funny because it was about a little boy and his brother and their experiences over the summer of 1928. It comes from a child's eyes since it is kind of a collection of Bradbury's own experiences. Great book! Marianne S.
Rating: ****

This book is o.k. but can get really slow. It has some unusual imagery. And some parts are hard to understand. Marcie D.
Rating: ***


Fahrenheit 451

After reading this book once, I really wanted to read it again, because I really enjoyed the book.  It's basically about a man by the name of Guy Montag who's job it is to set books on fire.  It's a very interesting book with its ups and downs.  It's a book that never gets old, because every time you read it you always find out something you didn't know before.  A book full of adventure.  Kao P.

The Illustrated Man

This story takes place anywhere from earth 200 years in the future to Venus and Mars. And it is all being told by tattoos on a man's back. A collection of varied stories makes it a great book. The only problem is that some of the stories take away from the overall excitement of it. David W.
Rating: *****

Definitely the best Bradbury book I've read. This is a collection of 18 weird stories that a man sees on another man's back. This man has tatoos all over and they move to create stories. This book is excellent and if you like weird stories I'd pick this one up! Collin P.
Rating: *****

I would recommend this book to people who like science fiction books about the future.  Maddy L.

The Martian Chronicles

The Martian Chronicles is about when earthlings go to Mars. It is very exciting and suspenseful. Excellent plot. It is built up of short stories that go together. Bryan K.
Rating: ****

This was a very interesting book. I loved how all the stories were interconnected together. Ray Bradbury definitely knows how to write a novel that keeps you interested. Kiel N.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

This book is excellent! It's about two boys and an evil carnival. It's a scary book and if you like horror, you'll love this. Bradbury isn't just a sci-fi writer, he's an excellent author of horror and he will scare you, trust me! Read this book! Collin P.
Rating: ****

This is about two boys who do everything together.  When a carnival comes to town in autumn, mysterious things start happening.  I really enjoyed this book.  Savannah K.

Boring book, the movie is better. Krista B.
Rating: ***

This book is about a carnival that only causes trouble to the town it is set up in. During the course of the book Will finally begins to understand his father. He is no longer embarrassed of him. I thought this book was boring. I would not recommend it. Chelsea O.
