Worst sequel ever? If you liked Dandelion Wine, stay as far away from this book as humanly possible...

Spectacular new, yet classic, Bradbury! Made me laugh, think, and cry, and left me feeling completely satisfied! This guy just keeps improving with age!

Summer is ending and so is the most important summer in Douglas Spaulding's life (so far). A nightmare causes him to fear death, and he thus declares war on the people closest to death, the elderly.Bradbury splits himself into two characters of this novel and is a true reflection of Bradbury's acceptance of death.

I didn't like this as much as "Dandelion Wine," but for the most part, it was okay. I found it interesting that parts of this were written at the same time as "Dandelion," but his editor suggesting waiting. And wait he did -- 55 years! Frankly, I wish he had waited a few more. Interesting comments on aging; although I found the parts about the "life force" between our legs a bit off-putting.

A great coming of age book that pits a group of young boys against a group of old men in the early 20th century. Farewell Summer not only bids good-bye to an Indian summer and the magic of childhood, it also says farewell to innocence and our early engendered visions of immortality.

Imagine Peter Pan but in the twenties in a small country town except there is no Neverland so Douglas and his gang have to fight the real world to keep from growing up. Very fun, a little sad, kind of an odd ending but all in all a good book.

It's no Dandelion Wine, but there are moments of clarity when it is just as powerful in its imagery. The ending is slightly disturbing... ok it's outright disturbing.

A tale with two conflicting characters representing Bradbury's young-self and his old-self. The two hate each other at first but end up getting along. The symbolism is very deep and thought-provoking. I loved this book
