From Amazon.com

Ray Bradbury's first short story collection is back in print, its chilling encounters with funhouse mirrors, parasitic accident-watchers, and strange poker chips intact. Both sides of Bradbury's vaunted childhood nostalgia are also on display, in the celebratory "Uncle Einar," and haunting "The Lake," the latter a fine elegy to childhood loss. This edition features a new introduction by Bradbury, an invaluable essay on writing, wherein the author tells of his "Theater of Morning Voices," and, by inference, encourages you to listen to the same murmurings in yourself. And has any writer anywhere ever made such good use of exclamation marks!? --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Mixed feelings..., Mai 17 2008
This review is from: The October Country (Mass Market Paperback)
From the outset, let me confess that I am a Bradbury novice as far as it goes, and cannot claim to be even a very well-read person. That being said, my two-bit opinion on this book was that while some of the stories in the October Country seemed a little forced or contrived, on the whole stories like The Jar and Dudley Stone make this book well worth the read. From my limited exposure to Bradbury, this book contains examples of the very best and a couple of the worst short fiction I have read by the author to date.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not his best, but good enough to collect, Oct. 29 2002
This review is from: The October Country (Paperback)
The stories in this book run a bit short on character and some of them have the stink of contrivance to them, but there are enough really good stories (The Jar, Uncle Einar, The Lake) that the flaws of the books are well out-weighed by the strengths.

This review is from: The October Country (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a huge fan of Bradbury, so my review is rahter biased. The series of short stories enclosed within are for those who enjoy ironic twists ala the Twighlight Zone. Biting humor.
