Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

3.25

This book just didn't do it for me. I liked what it was about. I didn't find the plot to be the most compelling thing in the world, but it works and it's short. I think the thing that makes this book a masterpiece in many people's eyes is Bradbury's prose. It's like poetry. It's impressive and beautiful. The problem is I don't really like poetry. I found my mind wandering a lot, and it took me a relatively long time to get through this short book. I guess my brain doesn't easily turn Bradbury's descriptions into images, and so it stops trying. I do appreciate Bradbury's prose, but it's more the sort of thing I would want to dive deep into a short excerpt rather than read a whole book of it. It's just not for me.
