Summary: It's gonna happens
Review: I read this book the other day( it ain't that long). It scared the crap out of me. American society is'nt that far from this. The people who gave this book bad reviews prove it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent novel...
Review: This book is amazing, whether you are forced to read it or not. The only people who don't like this book, are the fools who don't understand what's happening around them. Chances are, if you give this book anything less than a 9 out of 10, then you are just too uneducated to appreciate this work of art. Remember, your personal lives and interpretations bring meaning to a book, and the book is therefore as good as you understand it. Bottom line: Excellent book. (Everett Crant, Ontario, Canada)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Full Of thought
Review: This was one of the most thought filled pieces of work I have read since "Homer". However, do not attempt to read this book if you are not prepaired to use your mind. Many have hated it for this reason. Open up your mind to a new view of the world and government while experiencing the SiFi tradition.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A look into the future
Review: In the year 1953 Ray Bradbury wrote a book about something that, I think, could very well happen in the year 2000 and the years thereafter. The whole book, "Fahrenheit 451", is about the banning of books. This issue has gotten worse over the years and if it continues maybe firemen will indeed be paid to burn our books.

In "Fahrenheit 451" Guy Montag, the main character, is a fireman who realizes people should have the right to read books. He realizes that books mean a lot to the people who own them and after years of never thinking twice about burning a house down he watches a woman burn herself with her house because she wanted to die right along with her books. Guy comes up with a plan to get revenge on other firemen in an effort to stop book banning.

At some points of the book Ray Bradbury's writing was a bit confusing. He brought up different characters and stories out of the blue and I really had to think to figure out how those events pertained to the main story.

"Fahrenheit 451" was the second science fiction book I've read by Ray Bradbury. I also read "October County", a book of short stories. I do have to say that that book was also confusing, but was good because of the author's great description of places and people.

"Fahrenheit 451" is good if you like to think while you read. I think it has a good message about the banning of books and I'm glad I spent my time reading it.

Summary: One of a kind masterpiece!
Review: This is a marvellous book. I found it full of compelling text and did not want to put it down. I recommend this book to anyone whom likes a good can't put down book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thought-provoking and frightening. Absolutely wonderful.
Review: I love to read, always have, and this book has shown me why. The slow build-up Bradbury uses to show the awakening of a numbed mind is almost brutal. Reading along as Guy forces himself through the ashes of ignorance and blind faith which cover his artificial life, and into the stiff wind of knowledge and understanding, I understood. He begins to possess an amazingly powerful tool: the ability to use his mind to understand his world and why it, and we, are the way we are. Farhenheit 451 is an incredible book that, like the Handmaids Tale, is there to remind us (those of us who care) that the world may one day go wrong. I was very sorry to read some of the negative reviews though, like the others that loved the book, I noticed they came mainly from those who were forced to read the book in school. The book requires a certain mindset and understanding of what people are capable of doing. Students still in grade school or even high school are not ready to understand and see what the implications are if censorship is allowed. Ray Bradbury did a marvelous job in bringing home the importance of reading, and the resposibility that comes with it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST book i have ever read!!
Review: I love this book. It is exciting and thrilling. I love the idea of people not being able to read books or think for them selfes. I think that this book should be read by all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you don't like this book, read this review
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is, first of all, a classic. It is definitely relative to our society today, and, even if not a great story (which it is), a great essay on the decline of individualism. Now, to the reviews: Most bad reviews on this book are written by people who were "forced" to read the book in school. I have never read a book for the first time in school that I liked. If you want to write a bad review of this book, at least have something to say other than that you were "forced" to read it in school, and it "sucks", for no given reason.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!!!!!!
Review: My latest read was Fahrenheit 451. Everything about this book had thought in it. I am only 16 years old and I couldn't believe that someones words could move me so much. Ray Bradbury is truly a a marvel with words. I was suppose to read 11 pages a day but when I saw my self 60 pages into the book I couldn't put it down. The metaphors, similies, and powerful words were so overwhelming. Give me a break any man that can write, "...he knew why he must never burn again in his life. The sun burnt everyday. It burnt Time...So if he burnt things with the firemen and the sun burnt Time, that meant that everything burnt!" Wow! Even to write it inspires me. I had to read this book twice to get everything out of it and I still think theres more. I guess I haven't given a very good review but I feel you just can't describe perfection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is very interstive and creative, I love it !
Review: Thise book is very interstive and creative. I think Bradbury have a dream about the future.I read this book for my science-fiction class"Fahrenheit 451" It is such a nice book, but He must rewrite it because there are some places that have a things information in the book. For example; montage said he had been a fireman for 6 years at begning of the book, but there is a place on the book that saiys he had been a fire man for about ten years. Overall you should read thisbook if you like science-fiction book. I made a new cover and a movie poster for thise book; it is realy fun to read the boook you like.I am 8 Gradeand.
