Summary: not a book of points
Review: This book starts of kind of dull. We are introduced to a fireman named Guy Montag a fireman that sets fires not one that puts them out. His wife Milly more in love with T.V family the Montag Montag meats a young spirited girl named clarrisa who is in love with the world. The book goes on saying how books are important and you lose interst fast.

Summary: If you didn't like it, don't censor it!
Review: This book is not only about censorship and government control but is also about mankind's denial to confront the very things that make us human. Control is a good thing in society however to much control can make you paranoid and a threat not only to yourself but to society. This book is very relevant to even today's time when we seek to censor not only books but anyhting we deem harmful. This book is even being censored as I write. Such cnesorship has its basis within a lack of understanding and puts our society on the path of retrogression.This is book is probably best for those who are just beginning to tapp into their conscious mind and examine the world around them. I recommend this book for a mature, discerning mind

Summary: May no book burn again
Review: Now I did not have to read this for school like most people who wrote these reviews so that may have allowed me to enjoy the book for it's enternainment while still being taught immensely rather than forcing myself to look for the knowledge within and miss the entertainment. School would be so much fun (english & history) if I could read everything as if I were doing it to entertain myself and not because I have to. My state of mind may have been the factor that made this one of the most exciting and meaninful books I have ever read. Every politician should this to learn what democracy is not. Not that I think such a regime could take over in the near future with the freedom of speech on devices such as the internet and the continous poplularity of books. But by not giving his tale a date shows that such a world could come into being any time without warning if people simply forget. The theme of the book is the answer to anyone who asks what the purpose is of learning history. Montag is forced to watch his wife and the rest of a doomed society as it repeats history and mindlessly involves itself in war. The book is not so much about the importance of books but the importance of knowledge. Bradbury shows that a civilized society must always remember and cannot always be happy. The second half reads like an action story without straying from the theme and it is made obvious where Steven King was influenced to write the unrecognized but I think great book The Running Man.

Summary: The Worst Book Ever!
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is the worst book I have ever read in my whole life. I was forced to read it in school, and I disguised the book starting at the first page. There is absolutely nothing good in the book. It makes no sense, and I personally don't think the world will become to be, as predicted in this book. I also find this book very offensive to my religious beliefs. How can a book that takes the name of the Lord in vain, in almost every page, be used as a class novel. Everyone knows that taking the Lord's name in vain is breaking one of God's commandments, and is a sin. I have never read a book that was as bad as Fahrenheit 451 in language. I don't understand how the school boards can justify such a book, and use it for classes. Anyone who hasn't read this book, don't waste your time!

Summary: Bradbury books
Review: 451 and other apocalyptic books such as 1984, and Alas Babylon were my required reading in tenth grade, and I found that these have been my favorites. Bradbury is one of my favorite authors, I've read all of his works. I see that others may not have liked this book, but I suggest that you try it. Bradbury typically bases his books around the unwinding of human civilization, the villian is the technology we have created. In 451, he revisits the theme, and does a fantastic job. I love this book, and if you like try his others. If you've read and loved 1984, you will love the excitement of Fahrenheit 451. In short, I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Thought-provoking, Mind-Shattering
Review: I read this book hearing that it was "pretty good." What I was expecting was a traditional science fiction novel of good vs. bad and a weird plot. But Fahrenheit 451 was so REAL, it left me in tears. On the surface, it's entertaining, and a person with little patience will definitely find it boring but this story carries an important concept: Is censorship REALLY ok? I know very well that this book was written nearly 50 years ago, and describes a dark vision of the future. But this so-called "vision" is terrifyingly similiar to our own society and its present situation. Are we truly headed for the same fate described in the end of this literary masterpiece?

Summary: A good utopian horror story
Review: This book pictures a world where, in order to keep everybody happy and orderly, books are denied the public and burned when found. Guy Montag (the central character) is a fireman (a servant of the public who burns books) who's life is turned around by several cicumstances. He meets a mysterious teenage girl on the sidewalk every night on his way home from work and gets into deep conservations with her. She opens his eyes to the world around him and leaves him hungering for something he can't explain. His wife is a virtual reality junkie and spends all her time listening to the radio or conversing with her electronic "relatives" via VR. Montag begins to see his wife as an empty, meaningless shell of a being and begins to steal books from the houses he burns. The characters are real and you understand them. The setting and technology isn't futuristic but that's not the focus. The plot isn't spell-binding, but it is interesting and it keeps your interest. While the book is short, it is full of symbols, representations, and philosophy. A similar book to this is "Brave New World" written by Aldous Huxley. In both novels, books are outlawed. Overall, the book focuses on the mind of man and what can prompt him to do certain things. This book may sound like a boring essay, but it's not. It makes you think and examine life in a different light.

Summary: Horrible
Review: This book was way too weird for me and there was never a hook of curiosity. I was assigned to read this for school so that is the only reason i continued to read to the end. It made no sense and was very dull.

Summary: In the sacred tradition of 1984 and Animal Farm.
Review: Classic rage against the ongoing war against ideas always being waged by power mongering monsters and the widespread mindlessness which allows them to waltz in through the front door and take over the world with little or no opposition. Bradbury presents us with a not-so-fictional nightmare vision of a world full of entertainment-pacified adult children who, every once in while, attempt suicide or vehicular manslaughter. A world where the feelings and desires of individuals are drowned out by catchy mini-tunes blared on subway speakers until all traces of real people are dissolved into soap-opera-obsessed shiny-happy-people-holding-hands who are only even fully conscious in the ten seconds it takes to realize the shrieking emptiness of their life while they run to the bathroom and down an entire bottle of pills to make it stop.
