My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Ray Bradbury (1920 – 2012)

A giant of literature has died today. He lived a long and full life so it's hard to be too depressed but I'm saddened to know that he has left us. The author of such classics as The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine and Something Wicked This Way Comes, here was a master storyteller if there ever was one. He specialized in short stories and became one of this country’s best at the short form. It's impossible to describe the impact he has had in our lives. He inspired millions of readers by challenging us to dream and conspire against evil.  He will be missed but like all great artist his wisdom and passion lives on.
