I have a handful of classics that I wanted to re-read this year, starting with this one. I hate to say it, but I did not enjoy it. The last time I read this book was in 8th grade, and I didn’t enjoy it then (I didn’t enjoy many books then). I figured reading it as an adult I would be able to appreciate it more and understand why it’s considered one of the greatest books of all time. Nope, still didn’t enjoy it. I understand what it’s trying to do, but it doesn’t hold a candle to other Bradbury (see The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man).
