Back At It With Reviews | The Martian Chronicles Review


So we are now done with Dandelion Wine and we are onto another book by Ray Bradbury called The Martian Chronicles. So this blog post is going to be reviewing a chapter lol not again pls help okay anyway lets get started.
So I have chosen the first chapter, mainly because I like how this book begins. So this chapter is titled February 1999: YLLA which sounds odd but whatever I mean I didn't write this book idk the meaning. But this chapter is about how YLLA has a strange dream about humans.
Soooo the setting in this chapter is Mars, at YLLA and her husband YLL's home. They describe magnetic dust and a hot wind. The time is of course, 1999 in February. The season isn't really named but it's Mars so I'm guessing it doesn't snow. The weather probably is usually desert-like tbh.
So this chapter is the first so naturally it occurs in the beginning where YLLA has a strange dream where a human comes to meet her and YLL gets mad and thinks its absurd, but like YLL its a dream chill sir.
Alrighty last thing I have to see if Bradbury uses setting to describe moods or people. Soo when YLLA was upset because YLL wouldn't let her go to her friend Pao's, they tried to eat dinner but YLLA was too sad to eat. Bradbury described the setting (the room) as 'suddenly cold and dark'.
ALRIGHTY Thats all folksssssssssss see ya

I DO NOT LIKE THIS BOOK | Dandelion Wine Analysis (Own Opinion)

ALRIGHTY KIDS my last post was supposed to be about POSITIVE THINGS about the book, but now I get to put in my own opinion into how I think Dandelion Wine is.
First off, in my own opinion, Dandelion Wine is BORING. I'm not saying its not a good book, I just thought it was really really boring. Like, okay, you do the same things every summer. I mean it was a good book it was just really boring. I feel like such a horrible person for saying these things probably because our teacher thought we'd like it maybe (sorry mr. craddock) but it made me want to eat glass.

now my arm is bleeding for whoever knows why omg

The writing was good in the book, and the stories were creative. A lot of people probably love this book, but I for one don't like this genre.

The impression the author made on me was 'he probably lived in the olden times or back in the 90's or something, idk.

OKAY THE POINT IS I did not like this book very much it was really boring to me and it was very confusing, like every chapter was a whole new story based on the story before that one based on the two main characters like OMGIJRPBCNDNDKFVM'AW very confusing.
