The Highlights are the True Science-Fiction Tales.......2007-03-16
Ray Bradbury's skill as a storyteller permits him to paint beautiful pictures of the otherwise mundane. A lot of his tales sound rather ordinary by their descriptions, and rarely like science-fiction; his gift is to enchant you anyway, whether by offering a fresh perspective or just using his beautiful command of language as his artist's palette.
Golden Apples isn't the best example of this, though. With a few exceptions, the best stories in this collection are those which could never happen, and which truly are science-fiction (or at least fantasy), and the forgettable ones have the least going on. In addition to perhaps the greatest known Bradbury short ever ("A Sound of Thunder," about time-traveling big game hunters who alter the future), the best tales depict an ageless boy wandering the earth in search of new parents; a dinosaur emerging from the ocean's depths to heed the call of a fog horn it mistakes as kin; a ghost inhabiting a real girl's body to experience falling in love; and, in Tell-Tale Heart-like fashion, a man goes insane while covering his post-murder tracks.
Of the non-science-fiction stories, the predominant themes are nuclear apocalypse, media and technology's intrusion in our lives, and ethnic pride and race relations. Some work ("The Big Black and White Game," "The Murderer"), and some don't ("Sun and Shadow," "Embroidery"). It struck me that those tales offering the most social commentary entertained the least.
Strong Collection, but Not Extraordinary.......2004-04-18
I've read mostly all of Bradbury's lengthier fiction repretoire, and have only begun dipping into his collections of short stories. As a writer during the "Golden Age" of science fiction, Bradbury is unsurpassed: All at once, he manages to show the reader a future of hope, of surprise and of brightness. His writing style is simple and terse, and it takes some time to get used to the cadance with which he writes.
One of the aspects I've always appreciated about Bradbury's writing is that his stories extend beyond the "science fiction" genre. Encapsulated within the SF exterior, Bradbury manages to capture portraits of humanity - throughout all of his stories, it is apparent that he prescribes to the idea that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Thus, while he writes about space travel and other fantastical subjects, he retains a sense of humanity which transcends the differences in environment.
Without a doubt, my favorite story in this anthology is "R is for Rocket." This story alone is worth buying the book for...I am enraptured with the way Bradbury tells of the carefree summers the boys enjoy, and then juxtapose it to the pressure of a career in space exploration.
Generally, I find Bradbury's fantasy to be somewhat boring (though this can also be attributed to my lack of enthusiasm for fantasy as a whole). Don't let this faze you - this is a very strong collection, and excellent introduction, to Bradbury's short story abilities. About 90% of the stories in this book are really excellent..But the other 10% almost seem like simple writing exercises and are no way indicative of Bradbury's true talants as a writer.
Another Bradbury Treat.......2004-01-15
I'll admit I haven't finished this book but what I've read has taken my breath away. The writing is classic Bradbury, poetic and enticing. The stories themselves surprised me a little since I don't think I'd yet read a Bradbury story that wasn't science fiction or fantasy. "The Fruit at the bottom of the bowel" is one of these and is fantastic. Of course, it seems to me that Bradbury's preoccupation has always been with people rather than magic or technology. Thus it makes sense that his "realistic" fiction would be just as effective as his other. In any case, Bradbury is a masterful storyteller and anyone would deprive themselves if they didn't read his work, including this collection.
great book!!!.......2003-05-07
i read this book so many times by now and i still fall in love with it every time i read a story in it!!!
he is really one of the best writers, and this is one of his best books!!
buy it and see for youself.
Not up to Bradbury's high standards.......2002-08-20
Short story master Ray Bradbury presents 22 offerings variously set in ancient times, in out-of-the-way rustic hills, and in modern cities of Europe and the Americas, but never really seems to hit his stride. While best known for such science fiction classics as The Martian Chronicles and the short novel Fahrenheit 451, a significant portion of Bradbury's output is not very sci-fi, and sometimes scarcely even qualifies as fantasy. First and last, Bradbury's stories are about human emotion, and the setting (be it Mars, Hollywood, or ancient China) merely facilitates the drama for the disturbingly familiar players.
The few science fiction stories in this collection are not very notable. "The Pedestrian" is probably the best, with its strong statement about the rights of the individual. "Embroidery" shows three elderly women trying to create beauty in a world that is crashing around them and so demonstrates Bradbury's penchant for female characters as well as mature ones. Women's inner strength is also the subject of "The Wilderness" which would fit nicely into the Martian Chronicles collection except that it isn't quite powerful enough. "A Sound of Thunder" is a very conventional time travel tale that reads like Bradbury imitating Asimov, while "The Golden Apples of the Sun" is the re-telling of an ancient fable in the style of Arthur C. Clarke. The few fantasies are an odd mixture, but only the lonesome sea monster of "The Foghorn" makes any real impression.
Combined, the sci-fi and fantasy pieces make up only about half of this volume's 22 stories; the other half consists of Bradbury's brief glimpses of the real world. The most memorable is probably "The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl" in which a murderer tries to clean up the stain of his crime, but most of the others are all-too forgettable. Readers will page through tales of bureaucratic indifference, racial bigotry, the tragedy of illiteracy, but always the main theme is loneliness, loneliness, loneliness. Bradbury's hushed narrative voice is perfect for these kinds of stories, but readers of sci-fi and fantasy may come away less than delighted. This book feels like a grab bag of stories that didn't make it into any other collections, and really isn't quite up to the author's usually high standard. Devoted fans will surely enjoy these stories, but few will be impressed by the strength of this collection alone. Those anxious to discover this fine writer's work would do better to look into the above-mentioned novels, or else the wonderful Machineries of Joy, which shows the author's skill with short stories to much better advantage.

A Master Storyteller at Work.......2006-04-15
This book showcases some of Ray Bradbury's greatest short stories. His talent is to create a story that the reader is immediately able to sink into no mater how unbelievable the plot, the setting or the characters, and from time machines, to interplanetary adventures, this book is truly filled with the improbable which Bradbury makes seem imminently possible. This is truly is an enjoyable read.
I love this book!.......2000-12-14
I highly recommend this book to any fan of Ray Bradbury's work, or to anyone who wishes to introduce his classic works into their library. He is a passionate visionary that writes not only about sci-fi, but his colorful writing style encapsulates the sometimes ineffable feelings that each and every one of us have had about every possible situation in life, and dare I say, in death. I always feel like a kid again when I read his books, I am taken away to warm, sunny Saturdays when I was still in awe of the newness of life. I can hardly force myself to read the works of others as I am convinced that no one can do with words the magic that Ray Bradbury has done.
Genius.......2000-11-10
Ray Bradbury is a genius-pure and simple. He is a great. Proof is his power to affect the heart while engaging the intellect.
Unbelievable.......1999-05-23
These stories are the most piognant I have ever read except in The Martian Chronicles. These stories are mind blowing. Bradbury is the greatest short story writer of our time and maybe all time.
Great stuff.......1999-04-02
If anything this collection only reasserts what a treasure Bradbury is, probably the most American of our short story writers and one who can still speak to everyone with his stories. His tone is as calm as Arthur Clarke but you never really realize that you're reading something fantastic and outerworldly, he can make every event seem commonplace. This set is a collection of many of his best and most of the have become part of our consciousness, where we can barely envision a world where these stories had never existed. "The Foghorn" is probably one of his best known but there are others equally worthy. "R is for Rocket" is his best story by my counts, though "Frost and Fire" isn't too behind. The wealth of classic material in here is almost criminal, one person shouldn't be this creative. The only complaint is that a bunch of the stories in the R is for Rocket section were repeated in the Illustrated Man but that's a minor complaint really. They're just as good the second time. Go read this if you have any doubts about Bradbury's genius and you shall doubt no longer.

Book Description
Only Ray Bradbury could make plausible a deep sea monster's infatuation with a flirtatious foghorn, or a misunderstood man with a perfectly reasonable explanation for murdering his house, or a nubile young witch who works out an ingenious method for experiencing human love, or a space ship captain determined to gather a cupful of sun, or...18 other bizarre and wonderful tales.

Eh. More like "What if" thinking than real short stories.......2007-06-13
I like Ray Bradbury, but I must confess I wasn't real impressed by any of these stories. They seem more like literary impressions than short tales. You start one, and just as it seems it might develop it ends, leaving you thinking, "So? And?"
'Fear no more the heat of the sun...'.......2002-02-03
While these stories are excellent, most don't fit neat pigeonholes within Bradbury's work. Only some are SF. I've discussed them not in order of appearance, but alphabetically.
"The April Witch" - Cecy is plain-faced, 17, and odd - in fact, a witch from a witch family. She can take possession of any creature, live through its experiences - but she wants romance. So lovely Ann Leary finds herself going to the dance with the boy she's not speaking to...(If you're interested in Cecy's family, try _The October Country_ and _From the Dust Returned_.)
"The Big Black and White Game" - Set in 1940s Wisconsin. Once a year, two pickup baseball teams face off on a long summer day, just before the Cakewalk Jamboree, and somehow the white team always wins. But this year...hmm. If this appeals to you, look for other Bradbury stories like "Way Up High in the Middle of the Air".
"Embroidery" - A nuclear test scheduled for five o'clock has the women sitting on a porch worrying over fancywork rather than supper. An interesting parallel is implied, as one woman, having made a mistake early on, rips out the design...
"En La Noche" - Mrs. Navarrez has been grieving at the top of her lungs for days over her husband's departure for the army. The other sleepless adults in the tenement are growing desperate. When Mr. Villanazul comes up with a suggestion, guess who gets to carry it out.
"The Flying Machine" - The emperor of China sees a great wonder in the dawn - a man has built a kite that lets him fly! But the inventor isn't the only far-sighted man in this tale.
"The Fog Horn" - The old lighthouse keeper has told his assistant of many strange things, seen out here on the edge of the sea, to prepare him for these autumn nights when the strangest thing of all appears. One of Bradbury's best.
"The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl" - Acton just killed Huxley with his bare hands in Huxley's own house. The background of the murder is provided as Acton retraces his actions, trying to remove all traces of his presence. But even obsessive people can't always get everything.
"The Garbage Collector" - He liked his job, until civil defense created procedures for atomic attack.
"The Golden Apples of the Sun" - The ship is heading for the sun, to scoop up some starfire and take it back to Earth. A man may be killed by frost if he fears fire too much...
"The Golden Kite, the Silver Wind" - The mandarin has brought his chief advisor - his daughter - a problem. Kwan-Si has built a wall shaped like a pig - which threatens the mandarin's city, built in the shape of an orange. Each town is built and rebuilt, choosing a shape in response to one another. The final solution is ingenious. If you like this, seek out Barry Hughart's _Bridge of Birds_; Number Ten Ox's native village once had a similar problem. :)
"The Great Fire" - Nobody could quench it, because it was inside cousin Marianne - she's staying until October, and going out on dates every night. Father says he'll have been in the cemetery for about 130 days then...
"The Great Wide World Over There" - Cora, who always wanted adventure, has spent her life in the valley, going to town only twice a year. Illiterate, she can't escape through books. But now her nephew's coming to visit.
"Hail and Fairwell" - Willie looks 12, but he's 43. This isn't a variation on "Jeffty Was Five"; his mind is normal. While he can get by, he can't settle anywhere for long...
"Invisible Boy" - Charlie's staying with Old Lady while his parents are away. But she likes having him around, and sets about using witchcraft to keep him.
"I See You Never" - Mr. Ramirez left Mexico City for San Diego a little over two years ago. He's built a life for himself - a good life, by his lights. His landlady even believes that a good workingman has a right to get drunk once a week if he likes. There's only one problem...
"The Meadow" - That's only what it used to be. Then the movie producer came along, and said, Let there be Paris! Let there be Constantinople! And lo, hundreds of cities came into being. On the outside, it's a movie set. To the night watchman, it knocks the 'real' world into a cocked hat.
"The Murderer" - He's being interviewed by a shrink: the victims are yakking machines: telephones and the like. This used to be SF...
"The Pedestrian" - A companion piece to _Fahrenheit 451_. The writer walks for pleasure every night, so the cops have picked him up as a suspicious character.
"Powerhouse" - The woman, riding with her husband through the desert to her dying mother, never needed religion. During a great storm, they take shelter at a powerhouse in the desert. Bradbury explores the nature of faith and being alone a little, here. A quiet story, but richly textured as most of his work is.
"A Sound of Thunder" - Time Safari, Inc. advertises that if you name the animal, they'll take you hunting. After all, what difference could it possibly make to history - whether a dinosaur died a natural death or from a bullet, a few million years ago?
"Sun and Shadow" - A fashion photographer, trying to use a picturesque cracked wall as a backdrop, encounters Ricardo Reyes, who objects to his neighbourhood's poverty being treated as a stage set. A gem.
"The Wilderness" - Leonora and Janice are facing their last night on Earth. Tomorrow they catch the rocket, to meet their menfolk on Mars.
A collection of short stories, but some are tarnished........1997-07-25
I get the impression that these are leftover storylines that Ray has never been able to transpose into full length novels.
While some of the storys are good, some may disappoint the new Bradbury fan.

Characters Just Not That Likeable.......2007-07-17
As a lover of historical fiction I was happy to discover a series set in the Viking era. The harshness of the characters doesn't bother me as if they were gentle it would seem unreal. But I think the story line is lacking depth in this novel. The lead character Merrick seems oddly infatuated with the young boy Toby, not in a sexual way (eek!), but distractingly unrealistic. There were some story twists that I didn't predict, which did add to the entertainment value. But I think that the characters just weren't that likeable which is why I couldn't go higher than 3 stars. I think to draw in the reader, you need characters you can feel for, and these characters just seemed obnoxious overall. You would think that Laren would be more appreciative of Merrik's "care" for her as it had to have been like night and day from what she had experienced as a slave for 3 years, but after awhile I found myself just being irritated by the incessant whining of her inner monologue. I did enjoy the first book in this series much better.
NOT VERY WELL DONE!.......2005-10-23
I READ MOST OF WHAT THE OTHER REVIEWERS WROTE AND I AGREED WITH THEM. THERE REALLY WAS NO DEPTH, BARELY ANY EMOTIONS, THE HERO IS SO VERY DULL. WHAT I DIDN'T GET WAS THE FACT THAT HE WENT AND KISSED THE HEROINE'S SISTER AND RESPONDED, WHAT'S WORSE WAS THAT, THAT PART WAS ONLY 67 PAGES TO THE END. HE DIDN'T REALLY ADMIT HE LOVE HIS WIFE UNTIL SHE ASKED HIM! AND HE REPLIED,
"AYE. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. I AM YOUR HUSBAND. HOW CAN YOU DOUBT IT?"
THERE WASN'T EVEN ANY EMOTION AS HE TALKED! BORING! I STILL CAN'T IMAGINE HE WENT AND KISSED SOMEONE ELSE AND FELT NO REMORSE OR GUILT. NO FEELINGS, PRATICALLY FOR WHAT HE DID!
ANOTHER PROBLEM, IS THAT HE SEEMED TO TAKE A LIKING TO THE HEROINE'S LITTLE BROTHER WAY TOO MUCH! IT'S ALMOST DISTURBING!
THE FACT THAT IN THE SEQUEL, CLEVE MENTIONED OF THE HERO'S LOVE FOR THE BOY MORE THAN THE WORLD AND PERHAPS HIS WIFE TOO. PREHAPS? I MEAN THAT IS EXTREMELY MESSED UP! '&'
I'M NOT GIVING THIS BOOK A TOTAL ZERO BECAUSE IT IS COULTER AFTER ALL. I STILL HAVE HOPE, HER OTHER BOOKS ARE BETTER.
Are we reading a rough draft?.......2003-08-26
Just in the first few paragraphs alone she makes the same point about the smell of the slave market not being quite as strong because of the cool weather 3 times. It seemed like a redundant effort to fill pages with nonsensical information. If she had a better editor who helped her catch these errors she could concentrate on making an even deeper more rich story which I believe she desperately wants to accomplish. Sorry to say I won't be reading another of her stories again.
Entertaining read.......2001-10-09
Despite quite low ratings I loved this book. It did entertain me. Merrik and Laren are ideal couple. Merrik is not like other heroes that are woman abusers. Merrik never poorly treats Laren he always keeps Laren safe even from his own brother, Erik. At first I felt that the relationship between Merrik and Laren's little brother Taby was disturbing but later Merrik shows that he loves Laren so much and he feels that Taby is his little brother. He proves that he loves Laren not because she is only Taby's sister. Their adventure is exciting. There are many intriques and twists. The tamest character could become the most dangerous murderer.
Catherine Coulter never disappoints me. Although this is not her best book but it's worth a try. Her wonderful sense of humor never let you read without laugting. You will enjoy this one as much as I did.
Where is the depth??.......2001-09-05
Yuck - this is the very last book of Catherine Coulter's I will ever read. This Viking triology was awful. I can't believe I actually read through them all. There was no creative and entertaining dialogue. The dialogue between the characters was stilted and boring. I can't begin to describe it. I have to agree with all the other reviewers who gave these books poor reviews.
If you want to read an author who can actually drag in to the story, try Judith McNaught or Kathleen Woodiwiss. With these authors, you get an in-depth story about the characters, their lives, their feelings & emotions, their growth, their surroundings, etc.
Catherine Coulter does not describe her characters' actions as they're speaking. One does not know if the character speaking is speaking in jest, anger, softly, harshly or whatever. What do the characters' faces reveal when they're speaking? Are they gesticulating? What is their tone? What do their eyes reveal? You get NONE of this from Catherine Coulter. Be honest, when you're speaking with someone, all these things matter in how you yourself will interpret the words being spoken to you.
Her characters' conversations are hard to follow. You get long long paragraphs of one person speaking. For instance, in each of these three Viking triologies, several instances occur where one person is telling off another. Come on, NO ONE interuppted? This person was just able to ramble on and on and on without ONE SINGLE PERSON interuppting??? Yeah, right, these Vikings, rough and ready to fight as Coulter TRIES to describe them, would willingly let a person continuing mouthing off without stopping?? Get a little creative, Coulter!!
On the romance part, it was hard for me to believe in any of this Viking triolgy that romance would spring up between woman-abusers, no sharing, violence. This wasn't romance, as one other reviewer, it was about hate and violence.
Coulter should read some authors who have more depth, to see what writing is really supposed to be.
