Genuinely surprised by how good this is

Listened to this over a long weekend trip. By the time I got home I'd already recommended it to three people. Ray Bradbury: BBC Radio Plays is just one of those books that sticks.

Perfect for my morning commute

I kept pausing to think about what I just heard. That's the mark of a good book for me — when it makes you stop and actually reflect. Ray Bradbury: BBC Radio Plays did that consistently.
