Fahrenheit 451

Summary: This book is a captivating look into the supposed future.
Review: Once in awhile you find a book that truly fascinates you. Farenheit 451 was just this sort of book for me. The words flowed together in perfect harmony, the metaphors and similes gliding over my mind. The story was captivating- I could hardly put the book down. Guy Montag brought the book to life. He was a real person with real problems. The story surprised me again and again. The plot took strange twists and turns that made me re-read, as to look for hints towards the future plot I may have missed. As you can tell, I honestly adore this book. If you taske my advice and read this classic novel, you're in for and exciting ride!

Summary: The book was okay, but not great.
Review: The book was weird, but it had good points to it. It would be okay to read because it wasn't boring.

Summary: F 451 shows how dangerous a person's ideas are.
Review: I enjoyed this book very much because it gives you an extreme look towards censorship and how the media can influence the way we think. An individuals ideas and thoughts are shunned for society in general and how they can make a person think.

Summary: Weird Weird Weird Weird!!!!!!
Review: This book started out weird and ended up wierd and boring! The author has a good idea. We should read instead of watching TV, but if this book is one of the choices you had better turn the TV back on. I mean who in his right mind would ever write a book with 4 wall TVs, robot dogs, and burning books. And the story never really had an ending. It just stopped, I guess to end the boredom. I think the author had to get some sort of deal with all the teachers to assign this book. How else would it get on the required reading list? Maybe he gives 50% of the profits from sales. Please don't buy this book, you are supporting a lunatic.

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: I have never read a book anything like this before. Most of the literiture that I've come across has had ideas that come from other books, but Bradury's idea was clearly original, especially if this was written in the 50's. The language is of the kind Shakespeare couldn't think of. I don't think that even George Lucas could think up such a world. Within the first three sentences I was entranced. The suspense was of the kind that kept me awake, even at 3 A.M., and reading by flashlight. This book will help society be more careful about the future. Bradbury's wonderful creation deserves no less than 5 stars.

Summary: emotional impact
Review: This novel intricately portrayed what Guy was experiencing, if you read this book in one sitting and allow yourself to absorb what is happening, you can feel the choas and indecision that ravages Montag's pyche. This was a refreshing aspect after reading so many award winning books that seem to try too hard to force emotional impact upon the reader.

Summary: Very good
Review: Not the Best but one of the very good science fiction novel I read

Rating:
Summary: One of Bradbury's best
Review: I rarely read SF, I'm more of a fan of general fiction books like Prince of Tides or The Triumph and the Glory. But I had to read Fahrenheit 451 for a class and actually enjoyed it. It had an aura of chilling prophecy, the world may well deteriorate to conditions like that described in Bradbury's classic book, where books are burned. I hope not, though, Amazon would lose even more money than they are now.

Summary: An excellent book years ahead of its day.
Review: F. 451 was an excellent book beacuse it was above and beyond beyond all other books. The world it portrayed was fantastic, as well as horrific, in it's implimentation. The book gives you a view of human nature: good, bad, and lazy. It also shows how these attributtes can alter the way we live. Among the many subtle meanings in F.451 is they strving for happiness, not pleasure. Montag, the main character, strives for happiness-- a sense of pride in learining and accomplishment-- while his wife easily recieves passive pleasure by watching the electronic 'walls' F.451 is a thought provoking book you will never forget.
