Another entry on Bibliofile's "best short stories of all time" list, it was, indeed, very good. I've only read a few of Bradbury's works but in all of them I find a weird mix of beautiful, almost lyrical, descriptive writing contrasted with rather stilted dialogue. A lot is packed into these few pages, including, apparently, the earliest explanation The Butterfly Effect. In my mind, the character Travis looked like Jeff Goldblum. ?
