Summary: Great book from a good writer
Review: At some point, Ray Bradbury states in his novel 'Fahrenheit 451': 'The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies'. Bearing this in mind, it is doubtless that Bradbury is included among the good writers. In his novel, he managed to create a parable about the intellectual wakening of a man and the dangers of censorship, in a society where people are not allowed to think.In an undefined future, the firemen job is to start fire. They are supposed to burn books, and the houses of people who keep published material. Guy Montag is a fireman who has never questioned the pleasures of burning, until one day when out of curiosity he takes a copy of a book home and together with his wife he tries to read. However, they have never read a book, and while they can read, they are not able to understand, to connect the sentences. This is just the awakening of Montag's mind. We know there is something about him, and that he won't be the same until we reach the last page. Rather than being far fetcher Bradbury created a timeless story. Things like those describes in the book have been happening for ages. We may not literally burn books, but books, newspapers and magazines are burnt everyday. Like he describes in the book it began with one minority ripping one paragraph, then another, then one more... until the day that it would be better to burn the whole book. We live in the age of minorities, and we should watch out some request. The present edition is followed by an 'Afterword' and a 'Coda' written by Bradbury in first person. In the first he tells specifically about this novel, the process of writing and once more give voice to his characters to talk about themselves and they world they --and us-- live. In the second part, the writer talks about how timeless his novel indeed is. These two last chapters are very clarifying and help a lot in the understanding of the book. My suggestion is: read this novel, think of it, and see how the world can be one day. And then do your part to avoid things in this book becoming real, because 'Fahrenheit 451' can be anything, but far fetched.

Summary: Confusing
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is a book with a lot of confusing symbolism between good and evil.Reading the book becomes fun when you can relate the events in the book to your own life. Except for burning almost every book it is suprisingly close to our lives now. Fahrenheit 451 is confusing and sometimes boring but overall it's not bad. The main character of Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag, lives in a very demented world were owning books is illegal.

Summary: Fahrenheit 451: Review
Review: In this book, Bradbury demonstrates his talent of symbolism as he brings the inner meaning of the book to our eyes. 451 takes place in a distant future far from our time. In a world where the government is afraid that people will learn (from books)and rebel, firemen no longer are called to the scene to put out fires, but to start them. In this warp society, burning books is a swift, fast way to take out all education, and people who strive for it. Guy Montag, a fireman, meets a young girl who tells him about a past where things were totally different, and once more sparks his intrest in books he had before. In this book, Bradbury tells us about censorship. It gets the reader thinking is it good or bad? Could Bradbury be forshadowing what our lives will soon become? Overall, this book was good. It got me to think about how our life would be like if I was in the book. I would reccomend it for anyone who is willing to give it a try.

Summary: Wow!
Review: When I began 8th grade I was told we were going to begin reading Fahrenheit 451. I have heard many great comments about this book. Fahreheit 451 is a book that is set in the future even though it was written in the 1960's things that happen in this book have yet to happen. The main charachter is Guy Montag. Guy is marreid to Mildred.Guy is a fireman;but in this society firemen are a little different. Firemen start fires if you have any kind of book in your house.This book is all aobut symbolism. I honestly don't think I would have been able to understand this book if it were not for the class discussions my class had. This book contains many hidden ,but very important details. In this book you will feel like a detective. You will always be searching for the meaning of metapohrs, and symbolism. I absolutly loved the book. This book has a twist that most books don't have. The book has so many things in their society that we have today but are changed.The reason I gave the book only 4 stars is because it was confusiiong. You must read it carefully and slowly. It's a great class book.

Summary: Book Burning
Review: A Review by Ryan One night, while walking home from work, Guy Montag runs into a girl named Clarisse McClellan. This girl changes Montag's life and helps him notice that he not really happy. This setting is in the future when books are banned both to read and to have possession of. Montag had a job as a firefighter, but he was not assigned to stop fires from spreading. Instead hid job was to burn books and the houses in which they were hidden. Whenever Montag was at work, he always felt wrong when he was burning books. This change occurred after he met Clarisse. She helped him notice that books were a good thing. But one day at work Montag was faced with choice to either burn a book, or to keep the book and read it. I won't tell you what happens next because that would ruin the book. I liked a lot of things about this book, but the thing that enjoyed most was the amount of description and detail. When you read the book you could just picture yourself as the main character and see clearly in full detail you surroundings. Most authors lack this amount of imagination. Second I like the pace at which this book flows. It wasn't too fast or too slow. It would first fully explain one part of the story before it moved on to another part. I also liked the way he wrote this book. It was in such a way that you just had to keep reading until you finished the whole book. Third, I liked the vocabulary that Bradbury used. The words he used made his book sound professional, but the words were not so complex that you can't understand them. The vocabulary also helps in the descriptions that Bradbury made. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who has a ninth grade reading level or higher. I think it is the type of book that anyone who reads would enjoy reading this book. People who enjoy science -fiction would like this book even better. I say this is a must read book.

Summary: Fahrenheit 451- Review
Review: Fahrenheit 451-Review
Fahrenheit 451 is a since fiction book set in the future about a fireman named Guy Montage. Only Guy doesn't put out fires like firemen today, he starts them instead. The point of these fires is to burn books, because his society has decided that books do more harm then good. After seeing the look on people's faces after their books were burned Guy becomes interested in books and wonders why people seem to care so much about them. He starts to read books and eventually gives up his old lifestyle. Overall, I thought that Fahrenheit-451 was an interesting and exciting book. It was a little slow and hard to understand at first but eventually it started to pick up and became hard to put down. I can't say much for the setting or the character development but the book was worth reading just for it's phenomenal theme. Near the end the suspense started to pour in and it does keep you on the edge of you seat but immediately after that it slows down. I myself did think that this was an all right book. If you like science fiction and enjoy creative and important themes then Fahrenheit 451 is an excellent choice. I would recommend this book, though I don't like science fiction that much, only because of what it teaches us about the importance of books.

Summary: Fahrenheit 451 Review
Review: I enjoyed many things while reading the novel Fahrenheit 451. I especially liked how the society that Ray Bradbury created was an exaggeration but this exaggeration was not so distorted that it seemed unrealistic. In the novel Bradbury states that its cars go normally 100 miles per hour, an every day thing for woman is to have an abortion, inside the peoples' homes there are television walls and he also describes other futuristic ways of life.
There also were not really any emotions in the book, which was another part about the novel that I enjoyed. For instance, the way Guy felt about Clarisse. You knew throughout the entire novel the effects she had on him and she is thought about, but never really talked about. I liked how even though this novel was written about fifty years ago, you can see it the events that Mr. Bradford described happening to our society. It hits you right at home and Ray Bradbury does a good job of warning us what the future might possibly be like.
Another thing I also enjoyed about the book was how fire was constantly used and how it was always used as destruction and bad thing until the end. Whenever Bradbury describes the camp fire that was warming and welcoming because the Montag escaped the society and met up with other people that wanted to bring books back. These people were around that campfire and it was not threatening or anything.
There were very many good parts to this book, however there were also some parts of the novel that I did not particularly like. In the beginning of the novel, I think Ray Bradbury goes into too much detail with the description about Guy's pleasurable experiences while on the job. I do not feel that it is relevant to the novel for him to include such information. I think that it started out very slow. During the slow beginning, there was a lot of symbolism and allusions to literature in the novel. I was not very familiar with these uses of symbolism and allusions so I did not pick up on that particular part of the novel.
