Fahrenheit 451 CD

Summary: A Modern Fable
Review: I think this book is one of the most important books written this century because it teaches the reader a lesson: take away anything (not just books) that enriches peoples minds, and they become, well, stupid. Talking to people all day like Montag's wife did not help her to any degree; it only made her less intelligent (scary thought, as she already had little to lose). Also, to those who say this book doesn't make sense: it is a SATIRE! It is not inteneded to be 100% logical, plausible, or whatever. Mr. Bradbury wanted to teach a lesson, and Fahrenheit 451 does it well.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: How many books have you read where you thought "Good story, bad prose." ? Well, this book is NOT one of those books. (cheesy intro, I know) This book is like a non stop poem. Ray Bradbury is the greatest author of all time. This book is not his best but should be read. IF YOU ONLY READ ONE BOOK IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFETIME- MAKE IT THIS! (if you liked 1984... you'll love this...)

Summary: A story of a possible future.
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is a compelling story written wonderfully by Ray Bradbury. He has written the future's worst and gratest moments. Guy Montag has enjoyed being a fireman for mostly all of his life. He has been brought up learning that books would lead to rebellion and that the television would lead to the future. He has been enjoying the fun of burning books. He also has burned up the houses that held the books inside, but this is until he meets a seventeen-year-old girl named Clarisse McClellan. She tells him about a past when fireman had actually had stopped fires. The next thing Montag hears from a professor is of a future in which people are able to have their own differences and be able to think of themselves. This novel was fascinating. Ray Bradbury frightens his readers in telling a story of a possible future.

Summary: A good book, with many hidden concepts.
Review: I am a 13-year-old girl in an Extended Projects Program English class, and so I read this book (because it was a classic, and that fulfilled the assignment). I think that this was a very futuristic and imaginative story, as other Bradbury creations. I would reccomend this book to any bright student who enjoys any type of books ranging from sci-fi to plain fiction, or anyone who just likes to read classics. I must admit that there were some facts and happenings in this book that I did not necessarily understand completely, or a line of events that seemed out of order or somewhat confusing. This is definitely not an easily interrupted book - one must have a long period of time on his hands to get through a few chapters. Overall, I recommend any of Bradbury's books to anyone with truly good taste in books. :-) Thank you for reading this On-line Review.

Summary: It has already begun...
Review: Bradbury struck bullseye with this novel. It seems almost ridiculous to have firemen to burn down houses because the obtain books in them. But is it really? Today's American Society has already started the burning of books and persecution of those who own them. There are already banned book lists that are preventing the youth of today from expanding their minds. It is a travesty that this is happening, but the fact remains that it is. By preventing High School students from reading "Huckleberry Finn" because it uses a derogatory term towards African-Americans is ridiculous. We are forgetting what the word "satire" means. To ban Vonnegut's works because they are different is insane. We may not have begun to burn down houses, but we are not helping books to survive. We are too locked into computer screens and televisions to remember what it is to be human. The human-experience can never come from a computer or a television. We must protect what keeps us human. Forget being politically correct, forget Jehovah, Allah, and any other diety... BE HUMAN...READ BOOKS.

Summary: A Must for Anyone Who Believes in Thinking!
Review: One of the best books I have ever read! Guy Montag is the epitome of courage. The reality of much of Bradbury's fiction is horrifyingly consistent with today's society. The future's view of books is accurate with that of a variety of people today. A great book for high school students (if you can get them to read it) to think about thinking and conformity. Make a loved one read it today.

Summary: The future of America?
Review: This is one of the best books ever written. It shows what could happen if people refuse to think and let the goverment think for them. It shows that if let one person tell you what to do, read, or even watch t.v. that the censorship can grow and eventually you won't even br allowed to think for yourself.
