*[Something Wicked This Way Comes](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0380977273?ie=UTF8&tag=autodogmatic-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0380977273&ref=justinowings.com)* by Ray Bradbury

Started this book on my flight back from India to the States. It's not a long read, but it took me awhile to plow through it. I think it'd be a fun book to read for a young kid, but as an adult, it just seemed dated and a bit too "aw shucks" to me (There are a lot of old fifties-ish expressions in the book).

One aspect of this book I enjoyed was that it did paint a nice picture of a time (October/fall/Halloween) and a place (small town).

Definitely no *Fahrenheit 451*. Get it for your kids (if you have any looking for a fun Halloween-ish book to read).
