This book has increased my love for autumn tenfold.
There is a certain mood that permeates the lines and words of this story. Bradbury is one hell of a writer, with a very poetic and vibrant prose. At times I had the impression I was reading Neil Gaiman, or watching something by Tim Burton, two masters of atmospheric storytelling. There is no doubt in my mind these two have learned from Bradbury quite a bit.

This is the second novel I've read from Ray Bradbury. I actually enjoyed this book more than Fahrenheit 451. The book is dark, magical, childish, and yet very mature. The book takes a look at the cost of living, and the importance of letting go.

This is my first Ray Bradbury book. It’s clear why he’s considered a master of the craft. The prose is exquisite. His dialogue has a bygone era charm but it’s pretty hokey.
