37/52:Something Wicked This Way Comes

37/52, Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury, 5/5 Stars

Drips with visual imagery. So laden with it that you are often unsure of the source... characters paint the scenery with wild, yet explicit, imagination. I admit, there are times when it is hard to keep up or understand what's going on, but I love the attention to the senses that Bradbury used to write this book. If I have one criticism, it's that I *did* get lost in the imagery at times. And though I'm one to think "out there," the author still lost me with his analogies, whether due to them being historically out-dated (the book was published in 1962), or by simply being too far "out there." I'm surprised that I'd never read this book before, and I now consider it to be one of my all-time favorites. I'll look forward to reading it again so that I may more deeply connect with the picture that Bradbury paints.
