This is a masterfully written book about the future and how people in the future will be 'trained' to use their mind. Or perhaps not. The story tells about the adventures of fireman Guy Montag who, at a certain moment in his life, starts thinking about his life, the life of the people around him, an...
4.5/5I had just over two hours to read and as a result I think I read the last part too quickly. I loved this book though! I especially loved the first part of the book. I personally find it difficult to engage in dramatic battle/runaway/chase scenes. That's a personal flaw, not a flaw of the book. ...
I started reading this book thinking that I wouldn't like it, but I had to do it anyways because it is considered a classic, I'm glad I did. It caught me from the beginning. It's a story that despite being fictional, is not so far removed from the reality in which we live and, if we pay attention, w...
"The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies."That is a very unpleasant metaphor, and Fahrenheit 451 is an unpleasant book. If I were a teacher I'd give it a B- and not let my daughter date the weird little kid who...
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is certainly one of the most read and most debated books in our canon. Because of its straightforward plot and writing, it is a popular requirement in high schools. While I was not required to read it, like many high school students I had my “Bradbury” phase and read ma...
I don't understand the hype about this book. The writing is horribly disjointed and strange. It's like a stream of consciousness with no purpose. Montag is a one dimensional idiot and everyone else is worse than cardboard cutouts. WTF? I made the mistake of listening to this in the car and want...
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is one of those “I can’t believe I haven’t read this!” books. I decided it was the perfect choice to pick up for Banned Books Week. Since it was first published back in the 50s, it has been frequently challenged. The ALA included it at #69 on their most banned of the 2...
It was my debut with mister Ray Bradbury and I can say I've now "seen what all the fuss is about". Very light reading despite the loaded story. I recommend this reading for those who liked 1984 and/or The Admirable New World. Further more, I'd recommend it to kids who haven't yet read those two book...
I can't believe it has taken me this long to read this novel! Equally nice was reading it close to banned books week. A great way to celebrate the freedom to read.The beginning felt very dreamy to me as Montag, a fireman of the future, meets Clarisse. She is his neighbor and talks about a time when ...
