5.0 out of 5 stars If you were born under less than 50 stars...., June 3, 2004

If you were born under a flag with less than 50 stars, then this book will speak to you. While it is set in 1920's Illinois, this book resonates perhaps 50 years into the future, and into the past. Alas, I fear that it may resonate very faintly in these "post-modern" times. Still, if your life is rooted in that Golden-Age of small-town, heartland America, you will recognise these scenes, these characters, these feelings. Bradbury is a writer, a poet actually, of the heart and of feelings. Indeed, before I read him I didn't have the understanding or the patience to read poetry. Afterwards I did. He opened me up to subtle things.

When I see people critisizing his style as rambling or flowery, I can see that they just don't get it. Perhaps it is true that in the latter days children will be born without souls....

By the way, if you ever pass through Green Town, I'll be the one at the end of the drug store counter ordering a dish of lime-vanilla ice

Unlibro increible.Una faceta diferente del escritor Ray Bradbury muy ajena a su habitual sci-fi stuff.Es un libro tierno,divertido,de un realismo tal que a veces uno cree que estas cosas le han sucedido alguna vez.Es la narracion de un verano en la vida de un nino de 12 anos,que recrea sus sentimientos,sensaciones,y rezuma calidez y alegria de vivir desde el primer capitulo.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite books of all time!, March 31, 2000

Dandelion Wine is a wonderful, nostalgic trip down memory lane. Bradbury brings back those warm childhood summers when all you had to worry about was being home before dark. It is also a coming of age story. A beautiful narrative that describes those first moments when a young boy realizes that he is not immortal, that someday he will die. Bradbury has created one of the most beautiful works I have ever had the fortune to read. I heartily reccomend it to anyone!
