It's a good one for that...there's a very touching family theme.

So it shouldn't taint my reading experience. I assume this is a "the book is better than the movie" situation. Oh, and I meant to say I would read this to my kids. I sort of left that out in my comment. LOL!

I seem to remember it was a significant departure from the book. But yes, good read for October.

Love Bradbury's writing, too -- the kind that is smooth enough to read aloud. I'm going to order the book from our library and read it to them. They'll love it. Great book to read in October. :)Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341752236357006509.post-71312662577402482772020-09-09T18:37:34.852-04:002020-09-09T18:37:34.852-04:00I have not.
