The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury
4.0

4.25/5 stars.

My partner recommended me this book after I’ve been talking about cheesy sci fi for days around him. I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to enjoy this book but my partner and I are doing our best to read through each other’s favorites right now and BOY did I enjoy this one. Not all of the stories were my jam. My favorite stories in the book were The Man, The Visitor, The Rocket, Zero Hour, and The Illustrated Man. I am currently in the process of getting my secondary ELA and Social Studies endorsements and I can just see myself picking these stories apart with a junior or senior class and using them to compare to other more current sci fi stories. My partner is very happy to have recommended a book that I really enjoyed. So far on our ventures of each other’s favorites, he has liked more of mine than I have his. Well, I’m going to keep going and we’ll see where I get.

I made my best books of 2021 video today and now I’m wondering if I jumped the gun a little bit
