Something Wicked This Way Comes & A Sound of Thunder Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Great story. I really enjoyed this book. "

" So captivating, and descriptively written. "

" Even after the "good guys" won, this book left me feeling creeped out. Very scary and very evil - I'm not letting my kids read this one until they are in high school at least. I also didn't appreciate Bradbury's choice of vocabulary - do the characters really need to use profanity to express their fright? "

" Incredible use of the english language. Great story telling lets you experience the events! "

" Four stars for the story, but two stars for the narration. Average 3. "

" I've always been curious about these famous titles. The novel was very creepy, but a bit verbose at times. Still, I can see why it's considered a classic. The short story left me wondering. It's a great idea, but I felt the result lacked imagination. "

" odd, eccentric in ways. tough to get into the story. I only got about 1/4 the way through it and gave up. "

" listening to this audiobook and totally falling in love with Bradbury all over again. Haven't been this juiced about him since I first read 'illustrated man' 20 years ago. "

" I loved how this story flowed. It is so lyrical. The imagery is really creepy. I saw the movie ages ago and thought it was quite lame, but what do you expect when Disney gets their hands on a truley freaky story. "

" I have honostly read this book 5 times. Bradbury is at his finest. "

" What a beautiful writer. the language is exquisite and the story is wonderful, especially if read in the autumn, as the chill creeps into the air and the sound of carnivals lingers on the wind... "

" I thought both stories were good. The one thing that I didn't like was Bradbury's over description of events or settings. What could have been said in one sentence was done in like five. Too much if you ask me. "

" Amazing. I listened to the audio version on my morning walks and I didn't want it to end! If I were teaching high school English, this would be our October read. "

" Listened to on CD, but probably would have liked it better on paper. Just not into the story or characters at all. I should probably try again. Now that I think about it though, I usually am not that interested in books that set around a Carnival or Circus. "

" Book on CD - still like it a lot, however my lower score is due to the fact that it was presented as a play instead of a straight read. "

" Too many words. The rambling got in the way of the suspense. Even the shorter story at the end had a fairly long and repetitive rant. Edit it down and I think it'd be much better and spookier. "

" This is one of my all-time favorites. It's a beautifully written story about two best friends and what happens to them when a carnival comes to their small town. It was an intense, moving, frightening read. Ray Bradbury is at the top of his game here. "

" The book isn't as scary as the movie. Extra wordy in places. Foul language. Though i liked the story, i wouldn't read it again. "

" Boring. Too much description. Hated it. Didn't even finish it. "

" Probably my 15th time or more to read this book. It is a staple in my classroom - the only book I taught this year. "

" My favorite book of all time. "

" This book scared the hell out of me as a kid, and I think it's the reason I've never really trusted those carnivals that seem to spring up overnight in the parking lots of shopping malls... "

" An eerie carnival rolls into town after midnight, a small town is mesmerised by the stories. Not a book to be read alone on a dark and stormy night. Bradbury is a master of the short story. "

" Ray Bradbury is a genius. Sometimes I would read a sentence in this book and re-read it five times because it was so well-written. He chooses words so carefully and describes his characters and emotions in the book better than any author I've read. "

" I read this in 8th or 9th grade and absolutely LOVED it (I only rate it four stars, because I haven't read it recently). It was one of the first dark stories that captured my attention and held me until the last page. "

" Quite the horrifying gruesome story. Best read around Halloween ;) "
