I enjoy these kinds of introspective books that make us question the world in new ways. For the time it was written, Bradbury had some radical views. I appreciate the balance of entertainment with commentary that isn't shoved down your throat. My only complaints are that the pace is a bit slow for my taste, and there are a few moments that could have been more subtle in their message.
