“A giant.... One of the country’s most popular and prolific authors.”

—San Antonio Express-News

“Bradbury is an authentic original.”

“Ray Bradbury is an old-fashioned romantic who’s capable of imagining a dystopic future. He can evoke nostalgia for a mythic, golden past or raise goosebumps with tales of horror.”

—Chicago Tribune

“A preeminent storyteller.... An icon in American literature.”

—Virginian Pilot

“Bradbury has a style all his own, much imitated but never matched.... After writing for more than fifty years, Bradbury has become more than pretty good at it. He has become a master.”

“Some writers have a presence so pervasive that we take them wholly for granted; they’re the floor we walk on.... Ray Bradbury has accomplished what very few artists do. With his visions of possible futures and edgy presents, he has shown us a way out of the trap of ourselves, shown us how we can break the momentum of the past, of our habits and willful ignorance. He has not only transformed science fiction, he has changed us.”

—Boston Sunday Globe
