Fahrenheit 451 CD

Summary: Fahrenheit451 is a great book and I would reccomend it
Review: I gave fahrenheit 451 4 stars because it was an interesting and thoughtful book. It shows that books have been an advent to all major ideas.Without books creativity and thought would be stifled. Ray Bradbury`s classis story is a sure bet for good reading.I deducted 1 star because the book was sometimes hard to follow but don`t let that deter you from reading it.

Summary: good...maybe 3 1/2 stars
Review: was that the abridged version? no, but it sure seemed like it. This book had some very powerful ideas and the impression it is making on me is currently setting in (as I finished it about ten minutes ago). I think that Bradbury definitely could have expanded on a lot of aspects of the book because it went by so quick without giving you the opportunity to really get to know the characters.

Summary: OK
Review: The book was not that bad-but i wouldn't strongly recommend it. It was a bit weird for my liking.

Rating:
Summary: The White Clown Show is like the laser light shows of today
Review: Eerily prophetic, but (fortunately), more optimistic than "1984".

Rating:
Summary: A startling realization of how the world may turn out.
Review: This book ended abruptly, and in a way I didn't expect. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't appreciate science fiction books, or to someone who doesn't pick up weird storylines very well. Otherwise, it's a good book.

Summary: Exellent!
Review: I feel Bradbury deserves the best of congratulations on writing this novel. The wording was perfect, the plot was thrilling, the creativity was of the kind that I've never seen before. It actually made me fear what the future is to bring. It's amazing that this novel was written in the 50's. I commend Bradbury on his wonderful work.

Rating:
Summary: A book full of dry characters and a confusing plot!
Review: I couldn't bring myself to finish this book! The plot was unorganized and hard to follow, and even though the general idea of the book intrigued me, I couldn't figure out what was going on!

Summary: We're there
Review: I've been re-reading some sci-fi books of my youth. I am somewhat amazed at how prophetic some of those books were. This book, written now almost 50 years ago, is a sociological treatise of things to come; and unfortunately - it has come to fruition. I am equally amazed how accurate Bradbury's predictions were. How did he know? What insights did he have? Is he truly a seer? Was this written as a fanciful warning, or of what our society WOULD be? The televised helicopter chase scenes; being more familiar and comfortable with our television families - than our own flesh and bloods. A society composed of Mildreds. No critical thinking - just having FUN. Don't disturb us with thoughts and ideas. We're happy, and we intend to stay that way - at the expense of all else. The banning and the burning of books. The revising and shredding of ideas being performed not by the government -- but by pressures from the minorities, the majorities, the intellectuals, special interest freaks, 2nd rate entertainers. Political Correctness. This book should be required reading for all young people. If you find this book DISTURBING -- then you are already a Mildred. You have lost. Turn on your televisor, and seek solace and guidance from Oprah, Jerry, Geraldo, Brokaw, Rather, perky Katy, MTV, ESPN, The Action News Team, ...

Summary: A frightening look at the future
Review: A pleaseant experience. Bradbury tells us a frightening story about a disturbing future who doesn't seems to be that far from the truth. Issues of censorship are very clear but it's not preachy. Just an excelent piece of storytelling.

Rating:
Summary: Didn't Like it!!
Review: Confusing, disturbing, and stupid are some of the few words to use when describing this book. Firemen who start fires?? Come on. Burning every book that exists, this isn't a look into the future. It's a look into Bradbury's twisted little mind. Bottom Line.... Don't waste your time.
