 Don't Waste Your Money or Your TIME!!! June 22, 2008

For those of you who enjoy artificial vanilla and cliff notes this is your new favorite book on CD!! For those of you who hold out for the finer things in life it is nothing but a HUGE let-down. Dandelion Wine is one of the best books Ray Bradbury has written. This third rate production does no justice to the eloquence or mystery of the book. I would highly reccomend the unabridged "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury in lieu of this imposter.
 Excellent writing! A pleasure to read. May 27, 2008
This is about a boy ...about life ...about 1928.
Bradbury writes about a summer when a twelve-year-old boy realizes that he is alive. That summer is about life, and death that goes with life, and how this boy reconciles these to himself.
It is also about a time now gone. Bradbury preserves life in 1928 in this book for us from his perspective when he was a boy.
This book is about what is real in contrast with that which is merely manufactured.
This book should survive time and be read years from now. It is a literary classic.
Worst thing I was forced to read in high school May 22, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the only book I've ever thrown across the room and stomped on when I finished it. It was incredibly frustrating to read as a high school student. Absolutely nothing happened. I did not care at all about the main character, 12-year-old Douglas. In fact, I honestly wished he would die when he got sick towards the end, just so something would HAPPEN. Maybe I'll enjoy this book when I'm seventy and have nothing better to do than reminisce about being a kid, but having to read it at fifteen was so excruciating that I never want to touch it again.
My Favorite Book March 30, 2008
This has been a favorite of mine for years. It reminds me of my childhood. I think everyone ought to read this book.

Wonderful story of an era (not the actual time frame of the story)that I can still remember and which is so lost in today's world.
