It took me a minute to get the hang of Bradbury’s prose but once I did, I really enjoyed this tale of best friends Sam and Will and a very creepy carnival. I especially loved every page that included heroic Charles Holloway, Will’s “elderly” (at 54) father. There were some insightful passages of his dialogue that I am going to chew on a bit.
Now off to watch the movie and possibly traumatize my kids!

Oh dear, it was scary! Perfect Halloween story!

I love it that it was the father who was the hero of the story. I love fathers.

I love the circle story structure - the race returned everything back to normal, safe, kind and warm...

I love Ray Bradbury's books :-) ...more
