There's only one way to describe that book. It' bookgasmic!



"I fear not the darkness, I fear what it hides..."

"A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having..."

"I think werewolves are cooler. I already turn into a monster once a month anyway..."

I mean, come on! It's freakin' epic! The part where the illustrated man was in the library with Will's dad is one of my favorite parts of the book.

Agreed! It's also one of the few great scenes in the movie version.

I like the part where the witch is floating around hanging from the balloon sniffing and scratching the air trying to find the boys. I always wondered how a human being could dream up something that macabre. If I was writer I think I'd always be writing about puppies, kittens, and flowers.

I had to read Something Wicked This Way Comes for a project my father was doing. I love it. I can't say which part is my favorite because the whole book is my favorite. (I don't know if that made sense...)

What I like the most about Ray Bradbury is that you have to read his other books in order to get some of the plot. This is my opinion anyway. I'm young(er) than most of you probably and haven't read many of his books as I look at Wikipedia.
