Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Very disappointed with this purchase. The version delivered to me is the edited/altered version, not the original version as written by Ray Bradbury in 1950. In this version, all dates have been advanced by 31 years. The chapter called "The Fire Balloons" was not part of the original writing, but from another book entirely. Certain other parts of the book have been updated to comply the modern era, rather than allow the imagination of a future world as seen from the 1950's shine through. I prefer my books, and those I give my children, to remain as the author wrote them originally (translation aside), not updated, abridged, rewritten, or edited for a time long after they were written. The book says Modern Classics at the bottom... Perhaps it should say "altered classics" instead.
