Dandelion Wine is a collection of stories that are about two young children, Douglass and Tom, and how they are enjoying their summer.
Dandelion Wine is a very very very very (very times 100) boring book, in my opinion, since I don't really like these types of books. But the writing in it is good, the stories have interesting plots, and the characters have nice named like Douglass and Tom. A lot of books I've read have odd names like "Hangraytalamore" or something.
One chapter I liked was the story of an old woman who was trying to convince two children that she was once young. She buys them ice cream and tells them stories, but the two children don't believe her. It made me frustrated that she had to keep showing them stuff and they didn't believe her, because everybody knows that people were all young once.
Another story I liked was the first one, where Douglass is waking everyone up. I like the descriptions the story makes, like how he is yelling at his grandma's to fry hot cakes and how they describe the scent of butter frying.
I think the best thing in Bradbury's book 'Dandelion Wine' is the description of things, how he described hot cakes, or lime-vanilla ice cream. I like how he describes situations, like Leo Auffman and his machine, and how Leo was feeling at the time.
