Fahrenheit 451: The gripping and inspiring classic… by Ray Bradbury
Review coming soon.
I wanted to read this series of short stories after I heard that the television series "The Whispers" was based on one of the short stories. While some are truly fantastic like "The Veldt" there are a lot of very similar Martians vs. Humans, Humans in Space, "Twilight Zone" type stories with twist endings.
