Pros & Cons
Pros
Dandelion is a book to be savored and reread and kept on one’s shelf of literary treasures. Every paragraph is a poem that pulls tattered old memories out of storage and breaths color and life into them again.
The writing is so good, that the air of empathy and kindness which pervades the book transcends any fears. I was riveted by the prose and enthralled by the story. To steal a descriptor from a friend, it's utterly lovely.
Lavinia nebbs and some of her friends are worried about the disappearance of another of their friends. They find the police and, after he finishes questioning them, they are free to leave.
Cons
Dandelion wine written by ray bradbury is a terrible novel. This is not who the great bradbury was. Douglas spalding's magical adventures in the summer of 1928 are, in one word, boring.
Book is painfully sentimental and amateurish. It skips around and the pieces just don't fit together. Peppered with improper grammar and a few spelling errors, it frustrates the common grammar * even more.

Shipping
The town was, after all, only a large ship filled with constantly moving survivors, bailing out the grass, chipping away the rust.
Competitiveness
Bradbury seems to be more prone to use descriptive language as it relates to objects rather than people which allows the reader... Read More
