3 things about this book:1. I had to read it for school but it was already on my radar. I mean: it is a book about books. And it’s also dystopic.2. It is really interesting to think about the society that is shown in this book (and the way it came to be). It makes us think about some choices we make...

I honestly almost gave up on reading this novel as it started off really bizarre to my liking. I kept rereading the same passages over and over again and it just wasn’t making any sense. The language felt weird and what was transpiring, I couldn’t grasp. I felt that this novel jumped right in on the...

that was an Amazing incredible read.In a future America, books are banned and "firemen" burn any that are found. Media took over, and all source of information, positive information was provided through Wall-size television screens. Meanwhile, a war was coming but no one thinks will affect them in a...

Rating: 2.5 StarsPlease note, I had to read this for school. This is NOT a book I would normally read on my own time. I felt this book was rather complicated all throughout the story. The whole concept of book banning was very foreign to me. I guess I have a small mind because I have no idea why...

This book doesn't start...

Wow. What a great story. I put off reading this one for a long time because I assumed it was going to be too Sci-Fi for me. Man, am I dumb. I loved everything about this one. I can’t even imagine a world where books are illegal. I would get torched for sure. Bradbury has some serious writing chops. ...

This was a reread but I read it about fifteen years ago so I didn’t remember all that much. I didn’t like the dream-like quality of the prose, but I have been in a sufficiently black mood to appreciate the feelings of despair throughout. The two kind of balanced out. It does meander somewhat and...

Wow, just wow... This is quite the prophetic read. In a world where ignorance is indeed bliss; fast cars, inane chattering and 'the family' are all everyone needs. The threat of war is treated with such blasé disregard that no one even thinks twice about how it will affect them, because bad thin...
