Dandelion Wine, the prequel to this novel, was my favorite book in 10th grade (nineteen years ago).When I heard there was a sequel I got my hands on it as soon as I could. This book was not what I expected at all.It actually took me six weeks to finish it, and I put it aside to read 4 other books in the interim.I actually liked the afterward- detailing Ray Bradbury’s thoughts and why he waited 55 years to publish it, better than I liked the novel.
