Something Wicked This Way Comes: A Novel Audiobook

" I really did not care for this one at all. Not only does it recycle old ideas, but it just isn't good. "

" Yeah...weird. Kind of debated between 2 or 3 stars. I liked all the philosophical talk about death & how the carnival uses the fear of it against people. Other than that, it was just ok. "

" it took a few chapters for this to grow on me but once it did, i couldn't put it down. i'm late to the ray bradbury party but glad to be here now. "

" The only thing I regret about this book, is that I haven't read it when I was younger. Would have loved this one as a kid. "

" It was wonderful. How did he know he could put those combinations of words together to make you feel such things. I loved it. This was also one of my first "books on tape". The reader was fantastic, and really brought the book to life. I missed reading Ray Bradbury for some reason so I will be making up for lost time! "

" This book is much denser than I remember it being. And more Melville-esque, for better and for worse "

" Another of those wonderful childhood reads to revisit near Halloween! "

" I cant say much without spoiling the plot, but I went into the book expecting one thing, but then I got something much better. "

" This one made me remember what it was like to be a kid in a small town, back when there was no internet and cellphones were only owned by presidents and multimillionaire businessmen. Always a pleasure to read Bradbury. "

" Always an enjoyable read. not too scary, not bland .... just right. "

" Its been 20 years since I read this. Looking forward to enjoying it again. This is an awesome book. "

" Ray Bradbury writes with a richness that lacks in most modern science fiction/horror novels. This book is full of delightfully wicked scenes that are described so intensely...truly worth the read. "

" This is a great book, really creepy and suspenseful. "

" Re-read this classic in a day and half. but lost the review I wrote at the time. Shoot. One of the best midwestern horror novels. "

" Twice I've tried to get into this book but I've all always struggled with it for some reason. I suppose I just don't like Bradbury's style of writing. "

" I loved this book, the writing was breathtaking. Several times while reading I had to pause and soak in what I just read. A PERFECT Halloween book club pick! "

" The movie Big ripped off pieces of this book. Watch the movie and the read this. You'll see. "

" A fantastical coming of age tale... More plodding than Bradbury's masterpiece of adolescence "Dandelion Wine", but still a solid read for fantasy buffs or Bradbury purists. "

" I read this as a boy and loved it. I don't remember the storyline all that well now but I loved the book. It was really creepy. I'm a Ray Bradbury fan and would read pretty much anything by him. "

" I read this book with my children. I liked it but it did seem a bit wordy and too descriptive toward the middle. After reading, we watched the movie and all agreed that the book was definitely better. "

" Loved this book!!! I still remember reading it in high school and being unable to put it down. I re-read it a few months ago and it is still a compelling story. Gives you a chill and keeps you engaged though out the whole story. "

" Fantastic book! The diction and syntax Bradbury uses is very unique and closely follows the mind set and thoughts of people. The characters were incredibly real and the story line very original and interesting. "

" This book is much denser than I remember it being. And more Melville-esque, for better and for worse "

" Bradbury creates the REAL night circus. Beautifully and awfully, as always. "

" You know what I like best about this story? That laughter & happiness are the ultimate weapons. A story that's just spooky enough with plenty of meanings between the lines. "

" This book is rated in the top 100 for modern fiction. I thought the characters were memorable - down to earth, relate-able. However, there was something hokie about the ending. I'd love to hear what others think. "

" Humans are flawed. However, at the cross roads of evil and light a choice can always be made. And life, while it's all we've got, needs to be laughed at, oftener than not. We need more Charles and Will Halloways as well as Jim Nightshades in the world. Thank goodness for Ray Bradbury too! "

" I hadn't read this since my college days -- ahem -- many years ago. Was it coincidence that I started rereading it the day that Ray Bradbury died? I think not -- there are NO coincidences. "

" one of my all time favorite books by my all time favorite author "

" This reminded me of The Night Circus and I am looking forward to watching the movie. "

" This is a good classic. It is a little dark but has a good net moral. I wish I could get one of those merry-go-rounds. "

" Love, love Live Bradbury's inventive us of language. A true gem of a book - dark fantasy written with literary finesse. "

" I read this years ago with my seventh and eighth graders. Reading it again for my daughter's book club. I'm enjoying it all over again. Ray Bradbury can cast a spell. "

" I would never read this book again, even if my life depended on it..... "

" It was so well written, but it was a tough read. I liked the overall story-line, but it did end up being atad simplistic in resolving itself. I'm glad I read it, but it will be a long time before I read something so heavily written again. "

" No offense to all the people who love this book. I get that it is a classic blah blah blah. This book really doesn't do it for me. I really don't understand all the hooplah about it. "

" 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. "

" 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. "
