Fahrenheit 451 CD

Summary: This was a great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is one of the best books I have ever read. For all of the people who thought it was stupid, what Bradbury is talking about has already happened to you! At 14, I do not find this book at all confusing, unless to you confusing means that it actually makes you think (The horrors!!). It made me realize how lucky we are to be free to read whatever we want to read and think whatever we want to think. It inspired me to work to change things so that what Montags society has come to will never, EVER have to happen to us. I can not imagine a world where great classics like this book could not be read.

Summary: It Deserves Negative Stars!
Review: Last year we had to read this as a class. There were two books our teacher made us read that I hate with a passion this is one of them. I could not stand the way Bradbury writes most authors would say the pit pat of rain he would say the pit pat pit pat pit pat and so on for half a page it was royally annoying and as far as what the guy said about it being about individuality and conformity if you want to read about that read Ayn Rand's Anthem. It is much better, and deserves its status as a classic unlike this one.

Summary: The Hearth and the Salamander
Review: A future in which books are burnt, teenagers are violent, and free thinking has been destroyed. The few free thinkers that are left are killed, and yet, one man saves a book and reads it, making him a wanted criminal. Guy Montag, the hero, is this man, the rebel, the fireman whose job it is to burn books. This is a classic about censorship, that is now more important than before. Be sure to read this one, along with Orwell's 1984, and you'll get a clear view on what the future can be. And remember, at 451 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which books burn.

Summary: An entertaining, yet very serious and important work.
Review: I recently read Bradbury's work "Fahrenheit 451" for a book report in a class. I am a junior in high school and quite frankly hate to read. It's very difficult for me to get interested in a book. This book, however, caught my attention. Maybe I just like books about the future. It's an entertaining novel discussing the struggle between Conformity and Individuality. Montag acts just as his society intends him to until he meets some very important people that show him a more interesting and exciting life filled with knowledge. Of course, his brainwashed wife, Millie, continues to acts as one of the androids that society has made her to be. This is a very important work about censorship and the dull lives that it would inflict on us if we lost our freedom of speech, our freedom of the press, and even the freedom to the written word.

Summary: Hauntingly realistic!
Review: I'm a sophomore in high school, and I just finished reading F451. I may be slightly bias, since I love to read, particularly Sci-fi (Star Trek rules!), but this book was really good. I know many read this book in their junior high years, but I think it's better if it's read a little later, when it can be "digested" more thoroughly by a more mature audience. So many people, regardless of high school levels, hate to read, and I sincerely believe that is one of the most dangerous things in today's society. Schools do not stress music, art, and literature nearly as much as they should. We learn to THINK--we gain WISDOM from what we READ, not from playing sports and playing games on computers. Even many colleges give out more sports scholarships than academic scholarships. Western Civilization had better watch out, or Ray Bradbury's sci-fi book will become REALITY...

Summary: A great book, but a bit confusing at times.
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is an excellent book. Bradbury portrays the future in a very interesting way. The firemen burndown buildings, instead of saving them. Bradbury portrayed what he thought the future would be like. He portrays a world where people who think for themselves and question are outcasts and fugitives. Fehrenheit 451 is a very interesting story, but it can be confusing at times, making the reader reread paragraphs to understand what is going on. Bradbury doesn't use complicated words, so the reader won't need a dictionary by their side. I like the lenghth of this book. It is only about 150 pages long. The story also moves at a very fast pace. The plot is set right from the beginning. I feel that the story is developed well until the end. The climax comes and the end is right after that. There are not many characters to get bogged down with either. I liked this because the whole book centered around one person, not many people showing many stories. Over all, Fehrenheit 451 is very well written and exciting. I would recomend this to anyone interested in sci-fi and fantasy books.

Summary: The similarities between the the book and our world are amaz
Review: I enjoyed the book very much and would definitly recomend it to others. It is very fast paced and the action starts right from the begining of the book. The plot is very interesting because of the similarities between Ray's world and ours. If you like futurist books or even books about our world, and science fiction, this is definitly a great book.

Summary: Emphasizes the Importance of Knowledge to Prevent Conformity
Review: Fahrenheit 451 thoughtfully portrays the need for knowledge in society. With the attempted eradication of books, people of this futuristic society are left empty, afraid, and become enveloped in materialistic and trivial exploits. Individuality, Thought, and Creative Expression become victims of the book-burning fireman. The story presents a convincing argument as to the necessity of various means of knowledge in society. In my opinion, people of all ages could profit from experiencing the literary quality of Fahrenheit 451.
