Fahrenheit 451 CD

Summary: F 451 shows how dangerous a person's ideas are.
Review: I enjoyed this book very much because it gives you an extreme look towards censorship and how the media can influence the way we think. An individuals ideas and thoughts are shunned for society in general and how they can make a person think.

Summary: Weird Weird Weird Weird!!!!!!
Review: This book started out weird and ended up wierd and boring! The author has a good idea. We should read instead of watching TV, but if this book is one of the choices you had better turn the TV back on. I mean who in his right mind would ever write a book with 4 wall TVs, robot dogs, and burning books. And the story never really had an ending. It just stopped, I guess to end the boredom. I think the author had to get some sort of deal with all the teachers to assign this book. How else would it get on the required reading list? Maybe he gives 50% of the profits from sales. Please don't buy this book, you are supporting a lunatic.

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: I have never read a book anything like this before. Most of the literiture that I've come across has had ideas that come from other books, but Bradury's idea was clearly original, especially if this was written in the 50's. The language is of the kind Shakespeare couldn't think of. I don't think that even George Lucas could think up such a world. Within the first three sentences I was entranced. The suspense was of the kind that kept me awake, even at 3 A.M., and reading by flashlight. This book will help society be more careful about the future. Bradbury's wonderful creation deserves no less than 5 stars.

Summary: emotional impact
Review: This novel intricately portrayed what Guy was experiencing, if you read this book in one sitting and allow yourself to absorb what is happening, you can feel the choas and indecision that ravages Montag's pyche. This was a refreshing aspect after reading so many award winning books that seem to try too hard to force emotional impact upon the reader.

Summary: Very good
Review: Not the Best but one of the very good science fiction novel I read

Summary: One of Bradbury's best
Review: I rarely read SF, I'm more of a fan of general fiction books like Prince of Tides or The Triumph and the Glory. But I had to read Fahrenheit 451 for a class and actually enjoyed it. It had an aura of chilling prophecy, the world may well deteriorate to conditions like that described in Bradbury's classic book, where books are burned. I hope not, though, Amazon would lose even more money than they are now.

Summary: An excellent book years ahead of its day.
Review: F. 451 was an excellent book beacuse it was above and beyond beyond all other books. The world it portrayed was fantastic, as well as horrific, in it's implimentation. The book gives you a view of human nature: good, bad, and lazy. It also shows how these attributtes can alter the way we live. Among the many subtle meanings in F.451 is they strving for happiness, not pleasure. Montag, the main character, strives for happiness-- a sense of pride in learining and accomplishment-- while his wife easily recieves passive pleasure by watching the electronic 'walls' F.451 is a thought provoking book you will never forget.

Summary: Firey novel that perplexes the masses doesn't do it for me
Review: Bradbury's attempt to pull us into a futuristic world juxtaposed with elements of the early half of this century did amaze me. It was an easy read, but I found that some people have expanded the meanings of this novel through a bizarre form of free-flowing symbolism. They have deemed it a modern American Literature Symbolism Bible, a title that I personally abhor. It's a good book, but not one of such importance that one should completely be absorbed in its meaning weeks after reading. This book's portrayal of Dentim's Dentifrice could be the key to understanding life, but I seriously doubt it.

Summary: Fahrenheit 451 was a good book but hard to follow
Review: I give Fahrenheit 451 41/2 stars because the ook keeps the reader on edge. I had a very hard time putting the book down. Fahrenheit 451 was a lot like our socity today. Instead of putting out fires firemen started them. That strange twist was what I liked most about the book. I deducted a half star because it was a little hard to follow.
