Synopsis
Nearly seventy years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known., NOW AN HBO FILM STARRING MICHAEL B.

    High School Reading as an Adult

    This was one of those novels other people were assigned to read in high school but I never received that assignment. I often wondered about the references I heard as an adult and decided I should read it. It's a quick read but interesting especially when you consider when the book was published (1953) and Ray Bradbury's vision of the future. I'm not going to give a verbose review on it but say that if you're interested in classic American sci-fi literature, you should put this one on your list of books to read. There are reasons why this book was assigned reading for many high school students but I doubt many of them really appreciated it.

    Fahrenheit 451 - Doesn't Bring the Heat

    I came back to this book after a few years from high school. The book is more or less a compilation of speeches to bring about the theme of the book with a few action scenes to fill it out. Somehow the idea of censorship is always discussed but that's only scratching the surface of the novel. Many points are missed, like the idea of unrestrained consumption of commodities without a second thought to the labor behind the work. Read it or not - no one will really dig deeper than the censorship theme.

    Fahreheit 541

    I stopped reading it because it was too strange. But I could tell that it was a good book for more modern reader. Agatha Christie is more my speed. I've gotten all of the agatha books on EBAY that I can. do you have any more suggestions?

    Perfect Quality. Alright Book

    The book condition is excellent. Every page is mint condition. The book itself is just alright in terms of enjoyment. If you wanna read a post-apocalyptic-type novel, read 1984. Wayyyyy better!
