This is not Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles Hal Sawyer This book has been extensively altered from the original and classic Martian Chronicles.

It's a Five Star book however due to censorship I give it a one star. It has great short stories and make your think about things, especially for the time period it was written.

I think the book will still "work" even when the title years are behind us.
