LeVar Burton Reads has a freely available episode of this being read, which was a very nice way to be introduced to his voice. This story really fits with my other Ray Bradbury experiences: very in-your-face lyrical prose that has a few really nice lines, character writing a bit clumsy, enthusiastically explored fun concepts. This has these and also ends on a wonderful line that I wrote down to save. A nice one to listen to while thinking about the revolutionary imagination etc.

The twist was really extraordinarily easy to guess but the story was still fun!
