So far a really mixed bag. In general, Lester del Rey's book was better, but every now and then Bradbury has moments of genius. Chrysalis is fine, Pillar of Fire is uneven with a brilliant idea, Zero Hour seems to presage Betty Friedan, and The Man is a little bland. The Man, Time in Thy Flight, and the Pedestrian are all classic Bradbury. A little nostalgic, a little paranoid, and he definitely feels beleaguered.
