I couldn’t come to terms to liking Something Wicked This Way Comes...

But I did like Sound of Thunder.

I read this book years ago but I couldn't recall much about it, just that I'd been left with a really tickled feeling. I never recaptured that this time. I don't know if it was because I'm older now or because I was listening this time instead of reading.

The story is impressive, particularly the circus characters. I can't help but wonder if Clive Barker's Weaveworld was influenced by it. My only fault with the book is that there are some events in the story that are overextended, and the character of the father librarian is so diluted by the words Bradbury gave him to say. The most interesting observation I could share about this book would give away the ending, so I'll say no more.

I've always been curious about these famous titles. The novel was very creepy, but a bit verbose at times. Still, I can see why it's considered a classic. The short story left me wondering. It's a great idea, but I felt the result lacked imagination.

:-) Love this story, it holds up very well. First time listening to it as an audio.

This was a cool story and very dark and very good. The short story that came after Something Wicked This Way Comes is one of my favorites of all time. I love how it deals with what would happen when you change the past.

The master of intelligent, witty and chilling stories.

Two boys, close friends but different as night and day, have left summer behind and have begrudgingly started a new year of school. One fall night, in the wee hours, a carnival comes to town...something about it doesn't seem quite right, and something creepy is happening to the townspeople.

This book is a great, quick read - themes of friendship, growing up, the dark side of human nature.

Bradbury is one of my favorite authors yet this book always falls short for me. I’m not a big fan of the fight evil with love plot (like in a Wrinkle in Time). It just seems an oversimplification of the complexities of life. I do like some of the themes in the book, but it’s nothing like Bradbury’s other stories that take place in the same town. With that being said, I still read this book most Octobers as it’s good ambience for the season.

This was my first time getting the Sound Of Thunder included. I found that more interesting of a read. What will rich people do in 2055? Travel back in time to do big game hunting of Dinosaurs. But don’t step out of line, you change the course of history!

Love conquers all!

I love this author but really struggled with how slow it was. The final wrap up was very well done but painful getting there.

Fantastic and horrifying. I've not read a book before that's scared and thrilled and inspired to courage. Note: begin it on October 1.
