Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Breathtaking
Review: This book was the most breathtaking, jawdropping, and eyeopening phenomenon. I have read this book several times and every time I see something that I didn't see before and gain one more level in the battle against ignorance.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: rays story
Review: well in gerneral I think that Is a good story and it is hard to understand. Im not a bright guy but it was hard for me to understand, but the parts that I did I liked it. It could have had a better ending.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: I personally thought that the originality of the plot was what made the book interesting for me. Never before had I read a book about the banning of books and using "firemen" to get rid of them. At times there were some lulls and some confusing parts, but overall Bradbury's unique style is what made the book worthwhile for me to read. I believe that Montag was at times a flat character that could use a little spice, but his growth throughout the novel seemed to counteract the deterioration within his own surrounding society. To think that one day our own society could be like Montag's; burning books and stifling creativity; is absolutely frightening to me and this book does not try to supress that notion. It actually amplifies it, but it can be used as a reference for our future generations so they would never reach that low point that Montag's society reached.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Burn, baby, burn!
Review: Farenheit 451 is a wonderful book, though slow at times. I was intrigued by the idea of a future where thinking is looked down upon and mindless activity is promoted. Guy Montag is also a hero that I could sympathize with. For a interesting read, this book is an obvious choice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unfortuanetly prophetic
Review: Ray Bradbury warned us of a culture that had no more ambitions then to watch TV. Much has come true. I mean how many people think "Titanic" actually qualifies as entertainment. He described a society were simplistic plots dominated. He also described a presidential race won because of one canidates charisma not because of wether or not his plans would work. Most of all Grandmaster Bradbury gives us hope. I sincerely believe that TV and movies will become obsolete to holograms and VR. Holograms and VR will become obsolete to somatic input devices. Nevertheless books will always be read. Why? I'm sixteen and proof that love of literature hasn't been completely lost on my generation. These are a few of the reasons this is one of my favorite books.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Fun Park following the information in Fahrenheit451
Review: I don't know nothing about tha

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the books that make you think of your own!
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is one of the best books I have ever read. This book potrays a society, which may look too fake to be true, however, when we realise in what society we live in, we understand that it is not too far away. Every charachter of this novel wants to learn something to us.I liked especially one phrase of Beaty about Clarisse which shows exactly what people the government of the novel wants "She did not want to learn how a thing was done, but why.That can be embarrassing"

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This book is too confusing and kind of boring
Review: At first the book is very confusing and lame, but it gets better towards the middle. The idea is a little stretched out. I think the book should have ended without the last couple of chapters because I got sick of reading it. The author seems a little messed up.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I generally liked this book.
Review: This book is exceptional in its portrayal of the future. Yet, it is slow for the few chapters. If you buy this book, brunt the hardship; it gets incredible later!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Book
Review: This book just sweeps into the world of so called happiness.I think the book is warning us about the dangers of technology.I love the way he portrays life in the future and how liberal and lazy the people have become.I especially love Captain Beatty's personality, he can burn books but yet he knows quite alot about them.Captain Beatty's name is kind of ironic in how it incorporates the word beatific, which means to show extreme joy or bliss,when in the book they all are trying to stay happy when really they're not.They are not happy in my opinion because they always have to be doing something they can't just think or have a conversation with a human being.This book is very interesting and I recomend it to teens so they can learn more about life itself.
