This was my first but definitely not my last Ray Bradbury. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I also really enjoyed the story's progression. Ray Bradbury had a way of really emphasizing the evil behind the mask, and he does it so well here. These are not villains that I grew to love. The characters in both the narration and the book were very well developed. There were also a lot of really strange parts, where one of the dads is just cracking up like he's mad and that scene was done so well. There were times when over emphasizing was needed and Christian nailed it. I could easily tell the characters apart but Christian Rummel just made the very eerie world come to life.
Although between the fabulous narration and fantastic writing there is no way I wanted this to come to a stop! The audio was very well done and I think this is definitely one where the audio enhanced the book. He has a way of making you want to listen.
The boys, who are so much alike, start to really differ in what they want also. That is easily recognizable about halfway through the story though. It's so creepy that I honestly wasn't sure when I should absolutely feel creep-ed out because I was just thinking everyone was a part of the carnival. I'm so excited that I was finally able to listen to this one because it is fantastic from beginning to end! This story is about two boys and one of them is intriuged by the carnival and all that a carnival brings while the other is able to see through the glimmer.
