Histoire
Bradbury's Mars is a place of hope, dreams, and metaphor - of crystal pillars and fossil seas - where a fine dust settles on the great, empty cities of a silently destroyed civilization. It is here the invaders have come to despoil and commercialize, to grow and to learn - first a trickle, then a torrent, rushing from a world with no future toward a promise of tomorrow. The Earthman conquers Mars...and then is conquered by it, lulled by dangerous lies of comfort and familiarity, and enchanted by the lingering glamour of an ancient, mysterious native race.

Histoire
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Histoire
For four aging men in the terror-stricken town of Milburn, New York, an act inadvertently carried out in their youth has come back to haunt them. Now they are about to learn what happens to those who believe they can bury the past - and get away with murder. Peter Straub's classic best seller is a work of "superb horror" ( Washington Post Book World) that, like any good ghost story, stands the test of time - and conjures our darkest fears and nightmares.

Description
Few American novels written this century have endured in the heart and mind as has this one - Ray Bradbury's incomparable masterwork of the dark fantastic.
A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern October eve, ushering in Halloween a week before its time. A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. And two inquisitive boys standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon discover the secret of the satanic raree-show's smoke, mazes, and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes - and the stuff of nightmare.

Simile city
This is a classic story, a story to end all stories, a story that runs on like an endless train of freight cars filled with flowery and sweet fruit, on the precipice of ripeness, tipping, hanging at the nadir of its parabolic arc over whose precipice it transubstantiates into decay, into that first inkling that perhaps that eight peach shnapps wasnt quite as wonderful as you thought it would be; the type of story leaves you rewinding again and again because you lose track of whose shoulder this non action is not taking place over, a story whose fanciful prose, which slingshots you into half a dozen orbits before the tendrils of gravity reasserts itself on the sentence, leaving you falling helpless earthward as you silently beg the author stop dragging this sentence on and to let something Actually Happen Already! It improves its pace and comprehensibility substantially in the second half. Listen to the first half at a higher speed or under some kind of intoxicant. The first half is the gaudy lovechild of Louise XIV / Rococo as synesthesiatic ear candy and you wont miss much plot.

Narrator is annoying
The narrator is annoying af. So dramatic for nothing and every word starts loud and ends quiet so you can’t understand anything.

Great writing, simple characters
The big hang-up for me here are the characters. They're pretty simple. Jim and Will sometimes act like boys, and sometimes as more mature, depending on what the plot needs. They don't any intrinsic motivations, only reacting to the carnival, and the characters don't really interact in interesting ways. Some characters just disappear entirely and are never heard of again, like Miss Foley. I do have to admit, though, they did contribute greatly to creating the atmosphere of a small 1950s town.
Aside for some vague nods to the idea that boys want to be older then they are and of adults wishing they were younger, the story never seems to comment on its themes beyond saying that's a bad thing to want. The story will also take its deviations from that discussion, but I will say it is quite suspenseful and stays in the present moment.
Most of my appreciation for this book comes from the technical elements. Bradbury writes in a very clear, direct, and fantastical way. It's about 60/40 chance that the complex sentences hit or not, for me. What really amazes me is how Bradbury uses creative metaphors, similes, adjectives, and adverbs to create the magical, creepy, and poetic tone of the novel. I know his sort of language doesn't work for everyone, but for me it kept the story clear and wonderful. There is a lot of expository dialogue, though. Mr. Halloway's multiple-chapters' long philosophical rant in the library nearly made me put the book down for good.

What the heck
Bradbury seems to be trying to make some kind of point about temptation and how to fight the darkness that lurks within and without.
However his point gets lost in his ridiculously over the top writing style that flows from bone at stone to skeleton over behind under understanding with night murmur of bat flesh cow hide ears …
Basically WTF.

Great story… not great narration
Entertaining horror-ish story from the 1960s… narration is clear but… way too “dramatic “… the voices of the main character, Will, is super annoying… if you can ignore that, the story is good .

Couldn't stop listening
I'm a movie person so when I found the theatre version of novel lacking in the horror dept I wasn't interested in the book. However after listening to a recent podcast on the novel, I had to revisit. I loved it. I was immediately drawn to the beautiful yet haunting writing of Ray Bradbury. Highly recommended.

Proper literature
This is proper literature, not the dumbed down prose which now dominates best-seller bookshelves. The beautiful writing stimulates the imagination.
Special mention to the narrator - fantastic job.

I was expecting more
I went into this book with high hopes. Heard good things about this story and expected something a little spooky at least. Instead I get a story that feels very dated and kind of boring. Didn't care much for the main characters, with the father actually being my favourite.
This is a very basic coming of age tail, with no surprises and forgettable characters.
The voice acting is fine but couldn't do much to improve this experience. Blah.

Great take on a classic
Really enjoyed listening to this. Seen the movie many times but it was great to get a theatrical performance of the whole story.
