Summary: Frank's thoughts of Fahrenheit 451
Review: This one of a kind novel by Ray Bradbury is an interesting story with many twists and turns from its almost boring beginnings to its dramatic and action-packed closing. As a soft science-fiction novel Mr. Bradbury made a powerful statement about what he thought the world was coming to with its ever evolving societies. Already some somewhat small groups of people are forbidding the reading of certain types of literature. In my personal opinion, I think that every person on the face of this Earth deserves to have a chance to read, Even if this book that a person decided to read went against all the morals that the society currently values.

Summary: Ok
Review: I felt the author of the book should of described the war a little more. Still I thought it had some very interesting perspectives on how the world might become.I thought it was weird how all the fireman looked the same. The mechanical hound was a great part of the story. It had us guessing if it would attack Montag or not. Over all I felt this book was well worth reading.

Summary: Confusing
Review: who ever wrote this dumb confusing book is in a mental state of mind! Fahrenheit 451 is a overworded description of a fireman who lives on rebellion! It is a bad influence on the young people of the world. THIS BOOK SHOULD BE BURNED!

Summary: Makes you think
Review: This book by Ray Bradbury was defintely an interesting book! i encourage that all students read it! This book made my imagination soar! With all the situtations that occured in this novel, it's so strange how it's all coming true! It made me wonder if the future will be like that with the 4-wall television and the mechanical hound! also with the suicide rate as high as it is in the book! At points this story was scary! Also it was definely a cliff hanger! i couldn't put it down, i ended up so far ahead of my class that i had to stop reading so i could relate to what was going on in class!This was one of the better books that i have read in the past! especially being assigned for class i was extremely surprised that i liked it as much as i did! so i encourage that the future english classes of the sophomore year read this novel because it makes you think, learn what the true meaning of life is, and also improves your vocabulary and your reading skills!

Summary: How prophetic a very good science fiction writer can be
Review: I read this book about 18 months ago, but I am writing a review now because the book came up during a mealtime conversation. We talked about how prophetic a very good science fiction writer can be. This is definitely the case in Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Guy Montag lives in a world that represses freedom of speech, creativity, and the core of human spirit. People, including his estranged wife, are drones glued to these pseudo realities in television. It describes senseless trivia shows (can anyone say "Who wants to be a millionaire?") and awfully realistic soap operas that his wife affectionatly refers to as the "family." What is most disturbing is that as televisions and technology become more "artificially intelligent" we will face some of the brainless drivel (we already do) that the major media networks provide us. As a fireman, Guy Montag starts fires with books as the culprit - rather than putting them out. The idea is that books can make some people feel bad and as a result we should get rid of them - in other words books can be controversial and our country does not need disputes. The enforcer is a mechanical dog (which I found a little unrealistic and distracting) that injects a lethal poison into any opponents. Despite the silliness of the mechanical dog - the underlying theme is fantastic - open your mind and save the beauty of spontaneity and creativity of the human spirit.

Summary: hard to understand
Review: This book was to discriptive in some of the sceens and others had barly anything. The author never said anywhere what the time/date it was. It was really hard to understand. Sometimes I know what was going on, it din't stay in one place very long to catch up.

Summary: This is the future - Make sure it doesn't happen here
Review: 451 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns. If you have not read this book, now a cult classic, you wouldn't know that fact. Nor would you know that in Ray Bradbury's world of the future people don't say anything because they don't know anything. And they don't know anything because they don't have books. At first books were leveled down to a sort of pastepudding norm by cuts that made them shorter, producing condensations and digests. Classics were cut to fill a two-column single page, winding up at last as a ten-line summary. Then books were outlawed. Discipline relaxes. History becomes neglected. English is dropped. Life becomes immediate. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, fitting nuts and bolts? The amazing thing is that Bradbury predicted that censorship would start with the minorities objecting to the way they were depicted. Blacks, Baptists, Dog Lovers etc. waanted strict enforcement of anti-book laws and the burning of all books followed. Someone has written a book on tobacco and lung cancer? The cigarette people are weeping? Burn the book. The smokers are distressed? Burn the book. A book, any book creates problems. You don't have to face those problems. Just burn the book. The point is obvious. The world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority feels it has the will, the right, the duty, to douse the kerosene, like Montag, the protagonist of this novel, and light the fuse. But you know there are more ways than burning to destroy a book. Every dimwit editor could slenderize, starve, bluepencil, leech, and bleed white any book and make any author sound like Edgar Guest. Frightening in its implications, 451, this insane world, which bears many alarming reseemblances to our own, is required reading for all lovers of books. Incidentally, the proof that Bradbury's esthetic vision was not far off the mark was that he discovered, years after 451 was published, that cubby-hole editors at Ballantine, fearful of contaminating the young, had, bit by bit, censored some 75 separate sections from the novel. Alert students reading those editions told the author about this exquisite irony. The original story is now available thanks to Judy Lynn Del Rey.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Story of Guy Montag, a "fireman" in a repressive society, who repents his job of burning books and joins an underground society committed to memorizing the great works of literature. Bradbury's excessively florid, overwrought prose bothered me greatly. The futuristic society of book-burners never really seemed fully realized or plausible. Dealt with some questions of book burning and censorship intelligently, but still seemed a bit naïve. Bradbury struggles with long-form fiction. Never felt the execution rose to the level of thematic ambition.
