Book Review of The October Country

The October Country
reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


This is vintage Bradbury: an eclectic compilation of his early stories with a recurrent theme: death. Loaded with non-sentences and crude metaphorssometimes barely coherentlike a dime novelist trying to be Updike. Some have an interesting twist; others are just weird. Some took me back to his early comic book stories. You have to be a Bradbury enthusiast.
