Something Wicked This Way Comes

If there is one take away from this book, it's that Ray Bradbury has turned a fictional novel into decadent, rich poetry. At times too rich, like a dessert you should stop eating after a couple of bites but don't, this book reels you in back for more. This book doesn't pretend to be anything than what it is, a beautifully told, thrill-seeking tale surrounding the ordinary friendship of two boys teetering into adulthood and the lives of a sleepy small town on the verge of something extraordinary and peculiar. After a slew of non-fiction and other appropriate adult nonsense, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES was a welcome, pleasant, and devouring read. My first exposure to Bradbury, I must say it was fantastically enjoyable.
