Dandelion Wine Evaluation

What I didn't like about Dandelion Wine is that it seemed very..redundant. It was all about people who have experienced different things during the summer of 1928. To me, I want something with a little more action. I mean, sure, I like the witty references such as calling an old man a time machine. That's probably ONE of the only things I liked about it, The other story I liked was the one when the women were all having a good time together and all of a sudden one of them is followed home. What I learned about writing from the book was that writing doesn't always have to sound so formal, such as "Madame". I learned that it's ok to write in your own voice, not as someone that you're not. The author didn't make much of an impression on me because when I heard his name..it gave me a weird vibe like, 'Oh dear, this is gonna be a dragger." What I mean by that is that he gave me the impression that Dandelion Wine was one of those books that drag on forever and ever and ever, with seemingly no end in sight and for me as a reader, I hate stories like that with a burning passion. At least this story changed on perspective every so often. It was probably the only reason why I didn't lose my mind when I first started reading it. I learned a bunch of things from the book though. What I learned is that you have to live each day like it's your last because you don't know when you're going to lose it.
