Dandelion Wine Final

Hello, I’m here to tell you about Dandelion Wine, a book I read in English class this term. It’s pretty much about two boys; Doug and Tom are brothers who discover that they are alive and are really digging it until Doug sees that there’s so much more to life than playing around with friends and eating ice cream.

Doug discovers that people grow old and die, that machines rust and break down, and that someday even he will die. This really scares him because he’s so used to the thought that he’ll never grow old and that adults are totally different creatures living among children.

I thought that it was a good book over all I would definitely recommend that someone else read it, but only someone of a higher reading level because it is a difficult book and some one who doesn’t read very much probably wouldn’t like it as much as someone who reads regularly. Because it uses a bunch of words that someone who doesn’t read wouldn’t understand and the writing style can get a little confusing at times. But I would definitely recommend this book to those who read more.
