    Bradbury is a great author and you are a terrific narrator. I agree with the previous comment - kudos for doing this in person and not using AI.
  • @larrys9241
    Great Stories and real human naration ! Not some wonky AI. Wonderfully narrated 😁
  • I liked the last story, Defense Mech. One part of Halloway was safely home, while the other part was fighting Martians. You might say he was insanely happy.

    I seem to remember 'Rocket Summer' in a different way from the 'The Martian Chronicles'. In that quite short story, multidunious rockets lift off with their heat thawing the chill weather. Still, this version is an interesting take. Or variation. Thanks for this collection.I've liked Ray Bradbury for around 50 years and will continue so. Cheers and Tally-ho!

    Jonah of The Jove Run was my fave altho all were Bradbury excellent & a wonderful read 💚❤️ -- To be fair, I heeded your warning of the last story & didn't listen altho I'm sure it was just as good, maybe better, than my fave-- ❤

    I find the warning for the last story relating to a dif rurned vicious, weak, politically subservient and ridiculous! But I doubt opinions like mine matter to the uploader!
