Book Reviews of Something Wicked This Way Comes
Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The beauty of reading this classic and many other earlier great sci-fi/horror novels is the ability of author to clearly convey a compelling and fascinating story by using brevity. Unlike today's mega author's who feel the need to prove their prowess by writing 1,000 page tomes, or stories with trilogies ( with amusingly more than three books), the early pioneers could tell a story using a third of the words but with three times the impact. If you've ever read a Stephen King book (and I enjoy King) then read this book, You'll be amazed at how much Stephen King owes to Bradbury. Take a step back and enjoy the writing, not just the story. You almost feel like you are reading a long poem. There are many excellent horror and sci-fi writers today, but it's refreshing to go back and read this Bradbury classic and remind oneself why he is considered to be one of the masters. Read and enjoy.
