Very enjoyable. Bradbury's descriptive language is really amazing.
The story, is fairly short, but I definitely got into it pretty quickly.

Sound of Thunder is good for a short, short story (30+ minutes on audio) predictable but good.

Probably would have liked this better if I had read it. At first I thought it was a boy and a girl that were best friends due to a really girly voice. A bit of cussing in this.

odd, eccentric in ways. tough to get into the story. I only got about 1/4 the way through it and gave up.

I listened to the audiobook and I'm not much of an audiobook person.

This was kinda rough for me. The story sounded like something I would be really into if I were reading with my eyes instead of my ears but maybe not so much to go back and wait for the ebook or a physical copy to be available.

A supernatural/evil carnival tale of children caught in a web of temptation. Clearly a major influence of one of my favorite books, Johannes Cabal: Necromancer. I wish I'd been 1) in the mood for that type of story (autumn instead of summer reading) and 2) I HAD BEEN READING WITH MY EYEBALLS.

Would recommend but definitely be into spooky/demonic and unexplained forces, carnivals coming to town, children having growing pains.

Love Something Wicked This Way Comes. The audiobook put me to sleep a little though.

I haven't read "Something Wicked" in a long time, but when I did, oh how I loved this book, especially in conjunction with "Dandelion Wine."

Dark is truly a scary monster. I cannot think of a more horrifying image than skin being covered with crawling, squirming images that seethe and move deeper under the flesh and surge out in the next moment. One spider crawling up my arm is enough to give me a fit. In movies, an illuminated man usually is pictured as a tattooed man - but that is not what Bradbury created here. This being's skin literally crawls around because of multitudes of images being alive. (Plus, Dark enslaves souls because he feeds on their suffering, and age is not a consideration - he'll take children as well as men and women.) I know I've become jaded to horrific visual special effects in movies. Under the skin crawlies or burns or bloody tears are common. But I've never seen this holographic/maggoty effect done except for where a tattoo of an eagle or other single creature pulls away from the skin and flies off. The other movie effect is some maggots or similar insect-like creatures which bump around under the flesh. But maggoty-like moving faces that seeth and crawl on the skin? It brought to mind a particular Doctor Who episode, which was also creepy, but I think Bradbury's creation was far worse.

Now that I've completely freaked you out, you should know this is not a gory or excessively violent book. Perhaps sensitive people should avoid it, but it would be a great book for a father to share reading with a son, and then to discuss responsibility in taking action if someone appears to be in trouble, the social boundaries of friendship and relationships, and how seductions into evil behavior are not always so easy to resist or easy to spot. Of course, this depend on what kind of kid you've got, too. Myself, as a child, I read everything I could get my hands on, so I was precocious to a degree and far ahead of my peers AND parents in comprehension and literary pretensions. I've grown out of part of this, can you guess what I still have to a fault?

In this book Bradbury's word choices sometimes run away into thick fogs or overgrown gardens, and sometimes he gets lost exploring a sound/word group of descriptions that he tries to use instead of sentences for atmospheric actions or scenes. He's not as good at this as Dr. Seuss, but then this isn't Bradbury's strength. What he is good at is writing muscular speculative stories with vivid characters who face dramatic ethically challenging situations heroically, which can be read by people of all ages.

I don't believe I would like carnivals at all.

Sound of Thunder was included in my audiobook of Something Wicked. ... Hello, Tyrannosaurus Rex hunt! Cool!

The book isn't as scary as the movie. Extra wordy in places. Foul language. Though i liked the story, i wouldn't read it again.

I have to believe that this audio version, performed by Stefan Rudnicki, is vastly superior to the printed page. His sonorous voice just makes this sci-fi tale all the more spooky and supernatural. The evilness of the tale just creeps out the CD and tingles up your spine. Bradbury had his own special touch in creating characters and placing them in a spell-binding plot. This tale of evil arriving in a small town, in the guise of a carnival, will change forever the way you view carousels. Highly entertaining.

I think the first fifty pages should have been edited and cut down. The story starts slowly. Some sentences are too long and run on. The story kicks into gear later and is excellent.

Stopped reading at 29%. Didn’t like the writing and had a hard time figuring out what was going on. Tried reading it with Jeff.

Something Wicked this Way Comes by Ray Bradury is an interesting tale of boy named Will Halloway and friends Jim Nightshade. This book is good for many genres but i chose to put it under horror. It has a mix of metaphors and similies and over all a very confusing story. I had to read the book twice and watch the movie before i understood the book. What happens when a storm shows up to town...Read the book and find out.
