"A masterpiece . . . A glorious American classic everyone should
read: It's life-changing if you read it as a teen, and still
stunning when you reread it as an adult." --Alice Hoffman, The
Boston Globe
"Brilliant . . . Startling and ingenious . . . Mr. Bradbury's
account of this insane world, which bears many alarming
resemblances to our own, is fascinating." --Orville Prescott, The
New York Times
"One of this country's most beloved writers . . . A great
storyteller, sometimes even a mythmaker, a true American classic."
