Bradbury has once again written a very good collection. As compared with everybody else is is still the best collection out there. as compared against his own work, is still good but not a classic. This may not be fair to him, but "Quicker Than the Eye" just does not rise up to his historic standards. This collection seems to about death in its various forms, but told through the eye of a romantic. Some of the stories are about true horror "The Finnegan" and some of the stories are about time travel "The Witch Door". My personal favorites are "If MGM is Killed, Who Gets the Lion?" and "Free Dirt". The first leaves a smile on your face and the second is a macabre tale about getting free dirt from a graveyard. This is still good stuff and is a very enjoyable way to pass the time, just not up to the legendary standards of the past. Recommended.
