Stories are great, narration is terrible. Half the time the reader is mumbling (or recording is low quality) and you have to turn up the volume to understand it. Then he's suddenly yelling or crying way too loud and breaking your ears. The weird accents are also completely unnecessary. Audiobook producers, please just read the book, don't try to act it out. Leave it to listeners to use their imagination.

I keep trying to find something by Bradbury that is captivating or intriguing, but have been disappointed so far. These stories are never convincing and are just this mindless stream of consciousness drivel. It is clear that he was paid by word count. The outlandish plots are really farcical and hard to even take seriously. I put him in the same league as O Henry for being readable but nothing spectacular. Good narrator but not much to work with.

Ray Bradbury is great as always.

This narrator is not to my taste.

If you like your books performed, acted out, like a play then you might like this. I don't. I prefer to hear a straightforward, not bland, reading with some intonation for different voices and so on. Reading a book is about using your imagination to embellish and create more than that. A reader like this takes that all away. Clearly he put a lot of work into this narration. Maybe he loves Ray Bradbury as much as I do and just got carried away. But I quickly got tired of feeling like I was being shouted at during an emotional scene or hearing another overblown dialect.

This is the only Audible book I have gotten that I really wish I had returned.

Bradbury, yes. Narrator, no.

Weird it has "33 Chapters" for 18 stories, but you can't just pick a story.
