Some truly amazing stories and some others that didn't really do it for me. It is Bradbury though, and even his bad stories are still pretty good.

somehow I missed this short story, and my youngest daughter suggested I read it. Wonderful! Can't go wrong with Bradbury, and really don't know if I just forgot this story or never read it, regardless, i really enjoyed it. Love stories where the last sentence hits you between the eyes.
