Quirky stories from my favorite, old-time scfi writer. I like his Martian Chronicle series better, but this was fun too.

One of the best books I've read this year...the story grabs you from the beginning! I learned a lot about how autistic children think and act, what motivates them, the real and imagined fears they face. An incredible murder mystery, the best.

I wanted to learn about the Sierra Madre region of Mexico and about it's people and this was the story that caught my attention. The Cora Indians and mestizos have a very different lifestyle and did make for an interesting story, based upon Catherine Finerty's experiences there.
