8 out of 10

I've been reading these stories here and there and just finished the last one this morning.

These short stories started out being connected by the illustrated man, but that connection was soon lost until the very end. I would have liked to see it carried throughout. Most of the stories were pretty good though very few had "happy" endings. My favorites were "The Veldt" (which I had read before), "Marionettes, Inc.," and "The Rocket."

The other stories are:
"Kaleidoscope"
"The Other Foot"
"The Highway"
"The Man"
"The Long Rain"
"The Rocket Man"
"The Fire Balloons"
"The Last Night of the World"
"The Exiles"
"No Particular Night or Morning"
"The Fox and the Forest"
"The Visitor"
"The Concrete Mixer"
"The City"
"Zero Hour"
