Already being a Bradbury fan, I immediately purchased this upon seeing it in the Kindle Singles store. I found myself agreeing with much of what the main character said. There is a quiet sense of dread throughout that only amplified the further I read, despite feeling like I knew where it was ultimately headed. I would recommend it, despite its short length, but would perhaps recommend other Bradbury titles first if the reader wasn't already a fan/follower. Ray Bradbury is one of my all-time favorite authors, and this is the first of his works to be made available as an e-book. Some people have noted that "The Playground" is dark and disturbing; I can't deny that. However, it is very well-written, to the point that the dark and disturbing is made palatable. This story will grab your attention and never let go until the final word. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for someone who has never read Bradbury before, but if you're already familiar with his work, you will enjoy this.

Fun at times, but not my favorite Bradbury story.
