dark emotional hopeful inspiring tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? N/A
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Re-read this since I had to teach it to my Juniors this year. Even still as we read as a class I’m blown away by the subtleties, the symbolism, the character details, and world building. Ray Bradbury was truly a prophet. The writing of each word is purposeful, painful, and horrifying. I would recommend this to anyone who feels like their brain needs a good slap in the face.
