It's really a good book! Something different from other Bradbury's books, but still deep and poetic! Probably it can seem a bit dull, but one shouldn't be at hurry while reading it- it is a rule for the books where plot is not very capturing:-)
I didn't read books about Harry Potter - just looked them through and surely didn't notice that quotation. Yet it's a curious fact. Do you mean that these words were not invented by Bradbury? And who is the author then?
By the way, "Harry Potter" is a nice thing. Especially the film (back to childhood...)
I personally like Lem a little more than Bradbury, but, in my opinion, their significance in literature is equal. Both are more than sci fi writers. Lem prefers intellectual games, Bradbury prefers emotions (but of course that's not enough to give them a complete characteristic).
