Excellent! Much better than The Woman in Cabin 10 and I thought that was an awesome, crisp read. Definitely recommend for anyone who's read Paula Hawkins or Ruth Ware's other books.

Started off very slow, but got better for the last third. Picked up steam and closed on a high note. Looking forward to the fourth book.

Definitely not as good as the original three. Not enough Salander, and I disagree with the author's choice to 'ship' her and Blomkvist again. I should've checked before reading, but the author's Acknowledgments at the end thanked Larsson's brother and father. It was Larsson's girlfriend who had all of his notes and the manuscript of the fourth novel.
I would not recommend unless you're a completist and HAVE to read it.

Not bad. Didn't care for some things and the end felt too rushed. Would've benefitted from being a fleshed out book, instead of a playbook...

Review of 'Dandelion Wine (Earthlight)' on 'Goodreads'

Before today, I had read 3 Ray Bradbury novels. Based on those books, I decided to divide his works into 2 camps: Best Shit I Have Ever Read and Martian Chronicles Redux.
Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes both fall into Best Shit I Have Ever Read. The Martian Chronicles make me wonder how that boring book came from the same mind as the other 2 books.
Today, I finished Dandelion Wine. And before I got to end, I knew what camp it was going in - Martian Chronicles Redux. It didn't enthrall me. It didn't wow me. It didn't transport me to a wonderful place. It was just there. I am amazed the man who churned out Dandelion Wine also wrote Fahrenheit and Something Wicked.
However, my love of Ray Bradbury is unchanged. So please enjoy this tribute to his greatness...
