This book was beautiful in the kind of way that makes me want to reread it soon so I can properly appreciate it. The language was so poetic but whilst I was pushing through to get the story I probably missed a fair bit of it!
In the foreword and afterword Bradbury discusses how this book was written along with changes he made to future versions in other media, which I found really interesting. For starters it's good to know more about what happened to Clarice. Beyond that though, when he talks about how he wrote the book - it's the kind of book that you can honestly tell was written in flurries of inspiration from the almost stream-of-consciousness-like style, but it also shows Bradbury's lifelong love of literature in its style and rhythm. I didn't recognise most of the quotes included in this book but I hope one day I will!
