Summary: This Book Is A Scorcher
Review: This book follows the same outline of the great novel "1984" by George Orwell. This book deals mainly with the threat that censorship poses on a nation. Guy Montag, a fireman, has never had a problem going along with the norm until he meets a young girl who changes his perspective on life. He then begins to question why he burns books which leads him into trouble with his boss Fire Chief Beatty. There are many important lessons that one can draw from this book but mainly the idea that books never die and that they live on in people's hearts and minds as long as there lessons are remembered. This book can teach young people to appreciate the importance of books, a must read.

Summary: A must read
Review: This novel of the dangers of a world without books is extremely insightful. It follows the story of Guy Montag, a firefighter who starts fires. Burning books is his true joy until a young girl and a professor show him the true light. Althought it is a relatively easy read, it is thought provoking and enjoyable. The tale warns of editing and being afraid of stepping on others toes. This book speaks out and is not one that can be kept silent. Its powerful words tend to remain even after the last lines have been read. This is a must read for all, and a novel that will be savored until the very last words.

Summary: From a Teenager's Point-of-View...
Review: I first read Ray Bradbury in my literature book, in English class. I was instantly hooked. His writing has a simplicity to it, but at the same time, an amazing profoundness. I immediately went out to the bookstore and bought a book of his short stories--then another, and finally, I read Fahrenheit 451. His style is constant--his use of metaphors has more of an impact than any other author I've ever read. He has a rare ability to deviate from the regular stereotypes of the future, making the settings as believable as if they were set in the present time.I immensely enjoyed this. It really conveyed the image of what a world would be like without books--lacking substance and meaning; having pleasure at violence and taking for granted what they had. Mr. Bradbury never ceases to amaze me. The character, Montag, was a perfect balance of the influences society had impacted him, and his own emerging understanding of reality. I'm greatly inspired by this, and I hope to mature enough to write something of as much quality as Fahrenheit 451.

Summary: Farenheit 451
Review: Farenheit 451 is considered by many a highly acclaimed novel that remarkably illustrates the corruptive paths that our future may hold in store for us because of the effects of censorship. It drasticly emphasizes ceonsorship and the devestating impact that can take place from it. Some people believe that censorship has advantages in that it prevents exposure of inappropriate media to the youths of society. Farenheit 451 offers a different view on the subject. The many wars that people gave their lives to could very well be considered in vain by the destruction of books in Farenheit 451. The characters played an important role in bringing across this point. I strongly believe that Clarisse McCleannan in the book was that of one who was living in the past in in a way much like our opinions would be towards the sitsuation. She spoke of the past in ways we would speak of our present. I believe that this is a message about the calamities of nesorship that the writer is striving to get across. Although a novel relating to sceince fiction you might consider the various conversations between Guy Montag and Clarisse McCleannan to be heated debates on censorship and what can take place from it. Once again I stand forth and strongy believe that Ray Bradbury, author of Farenheit 451, is not making a science fiction novel for his well being, but to try to put out a powerful message on censorship and the drastic effects it can have on ourselves and freedom.

Summary: censorship in america
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is a very interesting book. Written by Ray Bradbury in the spring if 1950, this book gives a somewhat scary view of the future. In this future knowledge is suppressed. Fireman burn books, and start fires instead of preventing them. Life has only one purpose: to be happy. Now this doesn'tsound too bad, but when life loses all purpose, things are pretty bad. This book concerns censorship and how far it can go unchecked. It is also interesting to see what people thought the future would be like. It can be a little confusing for some, but overall it is a superb book.

Summary: Farhenheit 451 The book about no books
Review: Ray Bradbury's account of a bookless world is realistic in every way. Farenheit 451 is realistic in how it describes situations, people, and places throughout the book. In the beginning of the book it describes Guy Montag and a book burning. The author describes the book in how the books "Flutter around like birds and the sky burns as black as night.
Guy Mantag is a firefighter who, instead of fighting fires, he starts fires. Guy does this because of a massive government censorship act in order to keep people in line with the way they think. It is sort of like a cover up. Society agrees with this because they don't want to break the law.
This book's in depth descriptions are so good they pull you in and its like your there. Farenheit 451 will fill you with a new way of looking at things.

Summary: School Assignment
Review: I would recommened this book for anyone ages 13 and up. It's a hard read, but has a strong theme and interesting characters. I enjoyed the whole book until the ending. I didn't like the ending because it was a little bit confusing and sad. Besides that I enjoyed this science-fiction which has a strong resemblence to the Giver by Lois Lowry.

Summary: what a sad world it would be...
Review: I LOVED this book. For me, it gave a jolt of fear on the possibility of a world like that one, though ours is not too far away. I've read two other books of Bradbury's but I'd have to say this is my favorite. I would recommend it to anyone who has a passion for books and reading, for it caters to them. I would read it just for Beatty's dream about his quoting battle with Montag, but I guess you'll have to read it...
