Beautiful prose describing the walk, but once it got to the actual story it was a disappointment, just a cheap self effacing joke mixed with some cynical complaining about the kids these days.

I hope Mr. Bradbury takes no offence, and I’m sure this was really cutting-edge in the 50’s, but this was silly

This was a nice short story, really capturing the extreme sense that people would just recline to sitting at home never going out.

tuckeralmengor's review against another edition

3.0

Well, that was boring and weird.

I read this for English class and considering it was like a five-minute read, I don't have much to say. It's supposed to be dystopian but I can see this whole thing happening this day and age...

that says something about something but I don't know what and my brain is tired.

the moral of the story is sometimes people do stuff and stuff happens the end
