Summary: A superb book, even for a teenager
Review: I am 15 years old and i loved this book, it has captured theimportance of life and how you must live everyday to your fullest. Ittaught me that everything will die soon or later and you must not die without finding the true essence of life. Ray bradbury might have confusing ways in portraying certain scenes, but the plot is very understandable and a good one.

Summary: The Summer of 1928 was magic
Review: I remember reading this book in tenth grade (1978-79). It's about a boy who wakes up one June morning and turns spring into summer. This was the first (and only) Bradbury novel I read in high school. The book's good. I highly recommend it. Mr. Bradbury's prose are easy to understand. He has a way of telling a story.

Summary: The ultimate in summer reading
Review: Every time I read Bradbury it's like going home. His vivid descriptions and heart-felt emotions make me feel like I'm a 12 year old boy in Illinois. This book is also the ultimate in summer reading. It relives the magic and joy that exists in the summer; it makes us remember the innocence all of us once had. A beautiful book.

Summary: Bittersweet to the last...
Review: It's rather sad that our newest generation, weened on video games and bad movies, cannot relate to the bittersweet memories that Bradbury is able to so eloquently describe through the course of this novel. This work is a time capsule, a fragment of an innocent age lost when one grows up - and an age that today's youths cannot grasp or understand. The book itself is written with a dazzling sense of rythmn and pacing, flowing more like poetry than prose. The stories themselves are like memories of events you've never shared in, yet can relate to instinctively. It's a masterwork through and through, and is probably the best of Bradbury's vast library. I heartily recomend this to anybody with a soul.

Summary: This book was a wonderful story of the magical 1928 summer.
Review: I really enjoyed reading Dandelion Wine. It was easy to read because it was so interesting and intrigueing at the same time. I recommend it to anyone who wants to let their imagination take a trip back to the summer of 1928.

Summary: A great book about summer and hapiness
Review: "Dandilion Wine" is one of the best books that I have ever read. It combines a childs summer with hapiness. Bradbury did very well in describing summer and hapiness. The story shows how everything in summer is happy, even when things go bad. The novel made me apriciate things a little more. It also can relate to almost every one. The story doesn't really have any good or bad characters, yet it still has conflicts between them. I liked how Bradbury described the average lifestyle of a boy living in the 1920's. I could almost feel like I was living in the time. This novel isn't action filled, but it did keep me reading. I was interested the whole time. I would recomend this to ANYONE, especially those who grew up in the interesting time period of the 20's.

Summary: A Primer on Summer, Youth, and the Mystery of Life...
Review: Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury is like a fine wine, it just keeps getting better with age. Living in New York State the change of seasons brings with it a change in the air, people emerge from their winter hibernation and birds, bicycles and the sun all say hello again. Almost without fail I find myself reaching for my worn 1973 paperpack edition of Dandelion Wine (the same edition that I bought back in high school), and uncork its pages to revel in the summer breeze of Ray Bradbury's masterful novel of youth, summer freedom, and the celebration of life. This is a masterful work, certainly in my personal top ten list as one of the best books ever written. Enjoy!

Summary: A Book for Most
Review: Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury is an excellent book for all ages. Ray Bradbury used good descriptions and details. It relates to everyday life because it is a story about a boy in the middle of summer. After I read this book, it made me feel kind of depressed because it ends at the end of the summer and the beginning of school. On the other side, I liked the personalities of Douglas and his family. They all have open minds especially the grandfather because he thinks he can invent anything at anytime. However, it did seem to be a bit confusing with this invention called the happiness machine and some other imaginary inventions in the novel. All together, the story was well written and had a good plot that related to everyday life. I suggest everyone to read this novel for all ages.

Summary: DANDELION WINE changed my life
Review: It's discouraging to see negative reviews for a novel so full of imagination, warm spirit, and insight. Picking up DANDELION WINE for the first time four years ago, I'm amazed how indelibly the vivid images and rich stories have stayed with me, improving with age like any good wine. Aside from being a novel of steady, loving craftsmanship, the deeply personal emotions evoked throughout DANDELION WINE helped me reflect on where I was in life, where I had been, and where I was going in a sweet, unassuming way; I feel it has enriched my life by reminding me how precious time is and to always cherish my memories. I whole-heartedly recommend this novel to anyone interested.
