woAah, ANOTHER Dandelion Wine Review !?

Wowie, okay, so I have complete freedom right now to express my 100% true opinion on the book Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury.  As such, I'm going to do that.  Okay, well first thing's first...

I didn't really understand the book.
At all.

I mean, sure it was pretty descriptive and well written, but I just really didn't understand some of the stories (like the lawnmower one for example, or the one that's about buying ice cream).  I tried, but I couldn't really read into the meaning behind the words sometimes, which isn't something that I liked.  Sometimes I understood the stories, and I guess they were nice.  But, in all honesty...
That book was hecking awful,,,  No offense to the author or anything, or anyone that really likes the book, but it was just really tedious to read, and in all honesty, it's just not my thing.  The only thing I really liked about the book was the description, symbolism (when I actually understood it), and a couple of the stories, but overall, I didn't really enjoy the book much at all.  It's not really the type of thing that I would read in my own free time if I had the chance.
Honestly,,,
It's probably just how the book wasn't very eventful at times.  If there was a liiiiiittle bit more drama or suspense, like in the chapter about Lavinia and the Lonely One, then I probably would've liked the book a bit more.
Or maybe I could just try a lot harder to read into the symbolism and stuff...
But that'd be really bothersome because I probably still wouldn't understand any of it, considering that I already tried real hard to understand a lot of the stories but still couldn't do it.
But uh, yeah.  That's my 100% honest opinion on the book, so um,,,
