Summary: This book is a waste of time
Review: I'm sorry seeing as everyone considers this book a "classic", I hate to disappoint you , but it is not that wonderful of a book. I did not particularly enjoy this book. I was forced to read it for my 8th Grade AP English class and wasn't very thrilled about it. Bradbury goes on for pages of poetic nonsense that many don't and wouldn't want to understand. The book has a wonderful message and I am disappointed in Bradbury for this horrible representation of such a wonderful theme. Too many questions left unanswered for the mind to ponder. I mean who doesn't like thinking about a book?? Well I certainly do but there are just too many loose ends. And the characters aren't elaborated on enough. They are almost all left as flat charachters which doesn't make for a most enjoyable book. Many have read and many have been disappointed. Bradbury has many other works, I highly reccomend reading one of those instead of this book which lacks good plot or character development. It also has very little plot action and isn't very interesting. So take my advice and DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.

Summary: A book that encourages you to think about your society.
Review: It is truly ironic that some here are saying they didn't like Fahrenheit 451 because it was "boring" or "didn't make sense." Slamming this book because it didn't feed itself to you, predigested? You missed a major theme of the very book you're trashing: society has degraded because thinking was deemed "too much work" - challenging books are burned, and mindless entertainment keeps people docile. Either you didn't really read it, or you haven't learned to think for yourself yet. (And only those under 20 get to use the latter excuse.) You don't have to like this book. You don't need to agree with everything Mr. Bradbury says. BUT - if you didn't like it because it required too much work from you... well, let's just say you shouldn't be proud of that fact. Everyone who "got" this book, whether they liked it or not, understands this. And to the book burning eighth grader... Let me give you some free advice: sometimes your opinions say more about YOU than they do about your subject. This is one of those times. Hopefully your reading teacher will actually teach you to read some day... it's more than just following words on a page.

Summary: Provocative
Review: What is going on with people on here who are giving this book a 1-star rating, saying it "makes no sense"? People come on here trying to say it should be rewritten because of a couple of dry points, but it's the dead truth. The book isn't supposed to be realistic. It's supposed to be an exaggeration of what might happen if we continue to further censorship. Ray Bradbury wrote this book to warn you of that. And if you're reading this, don't say, "What censorship?" because you know what I'm talking about, banning books from schools, not allowiing certain things to be spoken on television, and now maybe even the internet at the rate of how things are going! Sometimes, you need to say things to get your point across, whether that's a weakness or a strength of yours. For me, it's a weakness, and I'm sorry for that, but I don't need censorship to ruin it. I loved this book, not nearly as much as I loved 1984, but it has proved itself worthy just the same.

Summary: A Book Of Melancholy Depth And Power.....
Review: I'm 14 years old. I finished reading the book two months ago. I have to say it is very good. Set in the future, in a time where fireman burn books for a living, we see played out the story of a man named Montag who is a fireman....but he knows there's more to life...... Befriended by a sixteen year old girl named Clarrise Mclellan, he begins to see through her eyes the beauty of simple nature. And books come alive to him. He later comes to himself and quits his job as a fireman. Although this is a Science Fiction it has a depth that this genre often lacks. Montag's wife is distant from him. Clarrise who was like a daughter to him was killed. And in the end being an outcast joins a group of men who believe in a brighter future. This book is not only important to read but moving. Put it up there with Brave New World and 1984. I have a great appreciation for good litreture. Being a future writer myself, I believe good writers are always good readers.

Summary: Read this book ..... if you want a good nap!!
Review: Before I was forced to read this book by my eigth grade reading teacher, I had heard from people that it was pretty amazing and thought provoking. They were wrong. The only credit I can give this book is that it is the only one that has ever made me fall asleep. Its inconsistent plot and awful use of surreal events were written down in a rambling, incoherent jumble of thoghts, even if you can call them that. Even if it had any type of meaning or hidden morale, this supposed "work of art" was unbearably boring and slow. Maybe I'm not yet old enough to be able to pick out any real substance from the book's paragraph after paragraph of *@#$, but I do applaud anyone who had the strength to get past the first chapter. I end my review with some "poetic justice" of my own... I burned this book!!!

Summary: it was okay
Review: I had to read this book for school, and at first I hated it. The beginning chapter is hard to understand because of all the symbolism, however, it eventually gets better. (slowly) It is easy to miss some concepts if you don't read slowly enough. I felt that the ending was far-fetched and boring. I did enjoy reading about a dystopian society, but altogether, the book is tedious and slow-moving.

Summary: If you want action, dont read this
Review: If you want a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat with action and plot twists, then read a comic book. This is one of the slowest books I have ever read. It is one of the best books I have ever read. It is truely chilling, how close this book mimics reality. Free speach may not be outlawed here, but when the news media is outraged at someone who is prolife.. or when a TV show has to have either sex, violence, or very rude humor to get good ratings.. or when the most improtant thing on the new is the presidents love life.. it really makes you think about just how close we are to the world F451. Many people hate this book because it is so boring, but i think it is good because it doesnt rely on speedy action or witty catch phrases.
