This is one of those books that I probably should have read before now, but I'm just now getting around to it.Farenheit 451 is a cautionary tale, set in a dystopian future, and reminded me very much of [b:1984|5470|1984|George Orwell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348990566s/5470.jpg|153313].The sto...
[This is a copy of my review on Goodreads, just to fill some space on my page] I actually read this a couple of weeks ago, but forgot to add it on Goodreads, so here we are. Being the lazy hack I am, I'm gonna write my thoughts in dot points. Even though I genuinely want to express my thoughts on ...
I read this back in high school. The idea that people would voluntarily burn books was shocking to me. That was something they did in Nazi Germany. (By the way, that's the plotline of the new movie The Book Thief.) I also noticed that there was fireproofing on the buildings, so that nothing other th...
This is long overdue. It is a great book to read. The whole premise of thinking of thoughts that have meaning, that could linger, that could continue into dialogue and conversations, is link to the availability of books, the interest we put into books, and how books help and train us into thinking l...
I somehow escaped high school without reading Fahrenheit 451 (and a lot of others, for some reason). Anyways, here's a good summary of this book: What I Expected: What I Encountered: Having heard all the paeans to this book from all corners of the world, I expected it to be a wise,...
I was surprised by this book. I knew of it but did not know what it was a about. Firefighters now take away books from the people who love them and the knowledge they bring but in this world knowledge is considered something bad they want people not think for themselves. I also feel like there is ...
Fahrenheit 451 (or 232,8 degrees Celsius) is said to be the temperature at which paper burns. And that's very important in this Dystopian novel, because books are for burning, right? In this very grim Dystopian book, there is a profession of 'firemen' who are specialized in the burning of books an...
I loved Fahrenheit 451 because it was a book about burning books that was far more than a book about burning books. F451 is a book about the true cost of the loss of culture- it can be burned books or banned films or the unsubtle self-imposed censorship of an idea- regrettably, this book isn't parti...
Fahrenheit 451. One of the classics of Sci-Fi and Fiction novels written in the last hundred years. Regarded as a touchstone not only in fiction, but in world views as well. This was a book written in 1953 and obviously predated the swingin' 60's and the free love era. This book was a great p...
This is the story of a society gone rotten. Firemen have turned from life-savers putting out house fires to life-destroyers burning books, which are perceived as too challenging, too good at asking awkward questions about life for people's happiness - which is the highest goal in this world. The hap...
