# Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

![Something Wicked This Way Comes](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/cover-5135.jpg)Status: Gave Up

I am up for someone convincing me that I am wrong.  But I gave up on Something Wicked This Way Comes.  I have not actually read anything by Bradbury.  I know that is probably reprehensible, but I just have not picked anything up by him before.  I saw the audiobook at the library and decided to pick it up.

I listened for almost two hours on an audiobook that is just over 8 hours.  I was just not drawn into any of the characters.

So did I give up too early?  Is there something else of Bradbury’s that I should read first (or instead)?
