This is a masterpiece written by Ray Bradbury. I have read all his works, but this one is nothing less than a masterpiece. It is so compelling that I have re-read it with great pleasure at least once a year since I was sixteen years old. There is nuance that grips the reader and makes them think and remember. There are happenings that seize the reader and make the breath a bit faster in the reading. One tends to exchange opinions and thoughts with fellow readers and what they gleaned fro the work and what they thought was meant by some of the passages. A twelve year old boy and the summer of his life. Sounds simple but this book is alive with meaning.

I received this book in excellent condition. I love Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and this was just as good, if not better. Defiantly recommend this book!

Ray Bradbury is a great science fiction writer and this book is somewhat different but still a fine example of Bradbury's power of description. The scenes described are picturesque but the story is a little hard to follow. For a step back into time, it's a good read.
it is a bit more used/old than expected, but intact and easily readable so I’m OK with it for the price.

Love this story of long ago. Makes me think of my own childhood. Although, this story is set much earlier than my childhood, it somehow conjures up childhood memories. It is an annual reread for me. Love the writing of Ray Bradbury.
