Not nearly as good as it would have been if I read this 20 years ago. The commentary is straight out of events unfolding with race relations in the 40's and 50's which I believe is about the time that Bradbury strung these articles out for Strange Stories and other assorted trade magazines. Some of the stories I thourougly enjoyed where as others I was anxious to get through the reading thus my middle of the road score. I was hoping for more.
