Somethine Wicked... was spooky, but also in a way very hopeful book, so I wouldn't be that scared of it :) Thanks for stopping by!Rivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561804353287763337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-85970205939144160622013-06-09T08:34:57.578+03:002013-06-09T08:34:57.578+03:00I've always been afraid of reading this book, ...I've always been afraid of reading this book, because of the creepiness. Even though I LOVE Bradbury's prose style, and think he's a GREAT writer, he does have that element of horror in his work. I noticed it when I first read "The Illustrated Man", although I love that book. It was also present in "The Martian Chronicles", to some extent. I didn't find it so much in "Fahrenheit 451", although of course I was very, very sad when books got burned...<br /><br />Thanks for a very interesting review!! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-83387639572111678452013-06-01T09:30:33.406+03:002013-06-01T09:30:33.406+03:00Well, it's a small book.
