Summary: loopholes? more like "get your brain to work"
Review: Plenty of people have said how good this book is, so I'm not going to go on and on. Instead, I will oly say that the so called "loopholes" of this story are so stratigically placed to force the reader to thnk. Example: where is Clarisse? what trully happened to her? a loophole? perhaps. Or maybe, a weapon of Ray Bradbury to manipulate the reader into thinking, and not becoming Mildred.

Summary: Overrated
Review: An average book, canonized as a classic because of its "important" message. It's a favorite for middle and high school English classes because its theme dovetails nicely with the lesson teachers all over the country try to teach their students: "Reading is good for you!" Also, it expertly exploits those teachers' worst fear: that reading will become an irrelevant activity and that TV will permanently take its place. As far as quality is concerned, unfortunately, Bradbury's novel simply isn't good enough to merit its overblown reputation. Don't believe the hype.

Summary: Duh!
Review: Duh!! it is supposed to be unrealistic and outrageous it is Sci-fi. i though it was a good book but a little confusing i had to re-read it to nderstand it and i had to pay attention. Other than that it was a preatty good bok but it could have been longer.

Summary: Turn the stove up to 451 degrees and throw this book in!
Review: Okay,first off I would like to say that I enjoy almost any book I read. This book has made it to the top of my "burn this book" list. Dont get me wrong, the idea was well thought up, but the book wasn't well written. First off, the book starts off with someone trying to commit suicide,and this character is saved even though she's totally wack. Second, the main character is named "GUY MONTAG". How origanal. Third, the people in this book are IDIOTS! I mean, first they outlaw all "offensive" material, then they condense great novels into two page stories,and then they sit around on thier butt all day watching the "family" argue and OFFEND each other. The best character in the book simply dissappears in the middle of the book, and then she is found dead. Not only that but no one has friends. Not even your spouse is your friend. What kind of wack society doesn't have friends. This book needs to be re-written, and seriously re-done

Summary: Thinking is for LOSERS!
Review: This book was really good and made me think a lot more about society and censorship. We are already at the point where everything we think about has already been thought for us(news, magazines,media,etc.). I guess as long as one is happy with society we will always be ruled and brainwashed by the government. Anyways...read this book it'll make you think about real life and how lucky we are that society isn't as screwed up as it could be.

Summary: Could this be our future?
Review: People in our reality spend time watching TV. People in Bradbury's novel spend time watching TV. Books are viewed as bothersome items by society in our reality. Books are illegal items that many in Bradbury's novel's society view as bothersome. Could our reality become similar to FAHRENHEIT's reality? Buy FAHRENHEIT 451, read the book, and find out, before this book is burned.

Summary: Alarmingly realistic
Review: Bradbury is a master of the genre. In "Fahrenheit 451", he once again shows his literary genius. Proving points such as "knowledge is thy strength, fear is not thine strength". He shows the importance of the written word and the dangers of censorship. This book made me think, which is contrary to this book. It made me think about how much we take for granted, even if it is just thinking. As they say, an oldie, but goodie. Not to be missed
