esther_greenwood 's review for:
Dandelion Wine
by Ray Bradbury
Many people praise this book for its writing style. The trouble I've always had with Ray Bradbury is that I enjoy his writing style but cannot buy into his plots and characters. I had the opposite problem with this book. I enjoyed the stories told well enough, but the beautiful prose people often praise seemed to me oftentimes like word salad.
Furthermore, I did not particularly enjoy the disjointed structure of the novel. This is not objectively bad; in fact, I'm sure people who enjoy the book would say the lack of structure adds to its charm, but it was not for me.
The story that stuck in my mind was the one with the 30-year-old man who finds his soulmate is a 90-year-old woman. Their relationship was extremely touching, and I do hope they found each other at the right time in the next life.
