I strongly recommend ther audiobook version. It is well acted and draws you into this excellent story. The followup story, Farewell Summer is not as good as Dandelion Wine is. ( ) I listened to a radio production of this book, so it wasn't quite the book itself. I can't really give much of a summary beyond that the main character was 12-year old Doug, and it was the summer of 1928. I can't give a summary because I don't quite know what all happened. I know bits and pieces, but it didn't really come together as one story, I didn't think. I am giving it as many stars as I am because the production of it was entertaining, even if I didn't completely "get" what was happening. For a while, I thought I might enjoy it more if I was reading it, so that I understood what was going on, but I also may have liked it less, if I found it boring, because the production itself was so entertaining and in reading the book, I wouldn't have had the entertainment factor. So, it gets points for the production... the story, meh. Lustrous. Brilliant. Achingly nostalgic. Magically real. I love this book with my whole heart, though I do tend to weep my way through several chapters. Bradbury's fictionalized memoir captures the Summer of 1928 so deliciously that it's as if I too was a twelve-year-old boy that year. I've read it countless times, and every time it's new. Every single time, there's something I failed to consider before, or something I was unable to understand that now comes into crystalline focus. What is there to say about this book that doesn't come out as the senseless babbling of the infatuated? I've heard people dismiss it as sentimental, and I categorically deny that it's sentimental in the sickly sweet conventional way. It's nostalgic, certainly, and Bradbury casts his eye backwards through an evanescent golden glow. I much prefer this soft warm glow to the flayed flesh one is apt to stumble over in the litanies of betrayal currently passing for memoir. Bradbury's playful language is a delight and a treasure. The narration on this audio is tip-top. I can't recommend it highly enough. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
