Summary: Start memorizing this book.
Review: I don't give very many things five stars. Bradbury's novel is simple, powerful, beautiful, and truly marvelous. A negative utopia along the lines of Brave New World or 1984, I like this book more than either of those because it is ultimately, utterly hopeful. Bradbury is in love with a messed up world and his message comes across with an urgency and honesty that is both startling and impressive. You know the plot -- they burn books because they're scared of ideas. Montag wonders about the ideas and becomes an outcast in a sterile society. This book makes me want to change the world. And so I want you to read it. And then maybe memorize it. A quick read, and a fairly easy read. Engrossing enough that you won't want to put it down, and once you finish it, you might be tempted to just start over and read it again. I recommend doing just that.

Summary: A view of the future
Review: This is a great book. Ray Bradbury accurately describes what happens when society starts to indiscrimanately censors things. It shows what many people think the world could end up like. Bradbury uses Fahrenheit 451 as a call for us to stop trying to get rid of things that don't cause immediate gratification and realize that emotions are an important part of who we are as humans.

Summary: Time to cool off and drop a few degrees
Review: The book Fahrenheirt 451 was a book that could use a lot of work. The author talks about burning books. Now if burning books is the type of book you like to read about then this is the perfect book for you. While reading this book you will learn about censorship and how important it is in socity today. Guy Montag who was the main character has issues weather burning books is good or not, although he is one of the firemen who burns the books. The book kind of deals with a reality check for the communtiy which if you read the book find out it doesn't turn out to well.

Summary: This book burns your brain!
Review: This excellent book captures a society unlike any other. In this world, books are outlawed. If you are caught with them, you are jailed and the books are burned. Guy Montag, who is the protaginist of the story, is a firefighter. However, instead of putting out fires, he starts them. He never questions the laws of this society until he meets a seventeen year old girl. She places all of these wierd thoughts and ideas into his head. From then on he questions everything. This winds up getting him in trouble. However, in the end this works out for the best. We definitely recommend this book for anyone who wants to burn their brain. For under six bucks, you can get a great thriller.

Summary: Blazing Book Review
Review: "With this great pythoon spitting it's venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were in the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and the charcoal ruins of history." This is one of many examples of bradburys excessive use of poetic imagery. With the use of his imagery, you see his world in a different perspective. The different dramatic pauses throughout the story, give it character and leave you with the feeling of tension and anxiety, not knowing whats coming next. In Fahrenheit, Bradbury uses flashbacks as a way to fill the reader in on what they missed before opening the book; like the characters had another life. Overall, we recommend this book to not only highschool student, but to anyone in search of good science-fiction.

Summary: Fahreheit 451
Review: This Book Burns Your Brain! Ray Bradbury fires out another hit with Fahrenheit 451. This science fiction novel captures a society where books are outlawed. Fahrenheit 451 tingles your senses in trying to imagine a world with no written literature. Trying to imagine a society without any books is mind boggling and upsetting. Just think of how books effect our everyday lives. For instance, you wouldn't be reading this right now because I wouldn't be allowed to read this book and write about it. Bradbury paints a realistic image about a fictional society that replaces books with television because reading books or having them in your possession is illegal. The thing that is so realistic about this society that Bradbury creates is that it could very easily be the society that we live in. Our society spends so many hours watching television and watching movies that one day we could question the value of books and what they bring to our lives. The government controls censors of what we watch on television and one day they could prevent us from reading books because they have the power to do so. Guy Montag, the protagonist of the story, is a firefighter who instead of extinguishing fires, sets them. Books are supposed to be his enemy and he sets his enemy on fire with kerosene as his fuel. After Guy meets a girl named Clarisse McClellan, he starts to question the world that he lives in. He starts to wonder if books do have any real value like Clarisse says they do. She tells him how rich they are and how he should read one of them because it is a great experience. After he reads a book, he realizes that he does not want to live in this censored society any longer. The plot of the book then becomes Montag's journey with his internal conflict of censorship. He can not live in this ignorant society and struggles to get himself out of it. Bradbury, in Fahrenheit 451, has a very enjoyable writing style. His plot is fast-moving and his descriptions of characters and scenes are explicit. He beautifully depicts this futuristic society and the people that live in it. Overall, this is a work of art from Bradbury. This book was a fiery blast from start to finish. The suspense of this book never let you out of its inferno. For under six bucks you can hold the fire of the future in your hand.

Summary: A Dark Look into the Society of the Future
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is a story about a sick and twisted future in which books are forbidden by a Totalitarian Regime. The concept of this story originates from the time of WWII in which Hitler's Regime was burning libraries across Europe in an attempt to prevent the distribution of knowledge and other negative ideas that could affect his rise to power. This book is an exciting tale about a world in which firemen no longer extinguish fires, but instead start them. The firemen in this world burn all books and the houses in which they are contained. We feel that this story, despite its dark tone, is a well-written modern day classic that makes the reader better respect books and not take them for granted. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wishes to read a thought-provoking story that provides insight into our future. An interesting aspect of this novel is how well it connects with our world today. Our society is becoming more and more reliant on technology and is becoming less interested in education, which sadly enough, is the same story in Fahrenheit 451. Could this be a reality for our world in the near future?

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: This book is wonderful. I won't bore you with the plot details, as you must've read them quite a few times by now. It is fairly easy to read, and its dark atmosphere makes it oh-so-great. If you're a fan of George Orwell, you should love this.

Summary: Incredible! First class! Chilling!
Review: This is the most wonderful book ever. For those of you who hate it, or say that it is ofensive to your religious beliefs, you are extremely inmature. This book makes a very important point about censorship. As others have said," May no book burn again." I urge people with an open mind to read it, because if you have a closed mind and refuse to like anything different, new, or outside the lines or crowd will dislike it. Believe me. It is worth a trip.

Summary: Chilling
Review: To you reviewers who had to read this book for school and hated it: I too was forced to read it when I was in 8th grade, and felt the same way about it that you do. I thought it was the dumbest most boring book I'd ever read. I'm telling you now: wait 5 or 6 years, and pick this book up again. I promise you will enjoy it. It's a story of an oppressed society and a man with the courage to try and break free. Please, give Farenheit 451 another chance. You won't regret it.
