Fahrenheit 451

Rating:
Summary: One of his best
Review: Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 was an excellent book. It really made you think about the way life could be in the future, and how the government can just take over you life. I just thought Ray Bradbury did an great job on showing how your life could be taken over and run for you in the future.

Summary: Extremely interesting look into our future
Review: I first picked up this book in my freshman year of high school, and I couldn't get through it. It made no sense and I hated it. I picked it up again after graduating and I became so enthralled in the story that it has stayed with me. I loved the book and all the underlying messages. There is true wisdom and serious warnings that Bradbury writes about, and I encourage all of you who had to read it for school and hated it, pick it up again sometime in the future when you are ready to really think about it and act on it. It is something everyone should read sometime in their lifetime.

Summary: I tried reading this book for my summer reading & it was bad
Review: I am sorry this book did not make any sense and I am a straight A student. If you have a choice I wouldn't pick this one.

Summary: RB did a great job describing why censorship is wrong
Review: Bradbury's way of writing forces you to think about how non-sensical the world is becoming. While throwing in a couple of other ideas, he builds up to describing the horrors of censorship. It seems ridiculous that the could actually become that crazy, but if we tried to make the world perfect-it would leave many people unhappy. And if we destroy books, we're destroying a person's valuable opinion containing the key to the past.

Summary: Horrible book
Review: This was the worst book I've ever read. Most of the book was just saying the exact same thing a million different ways. It was an interesting idea behind the book, but it was altogether boring the way it was written.

Rating:
Summary: this book was awful
Review: This book makes absolutely no sense at all. I read the first page and I didn't like it. I have to read it for school and I have fallen asleep 4 times reading it. All of my friends hate it to. We have a test on the 2nd day of 8th grade. Even using the Cliffs Notes didn't help at all. I don't recommend this book to anyone.

Rating:
Summary: A well-written novel.
Review: I had to read this book for schoool. I am going into eighth grade. At first, I thought that the book was a bunch of nonsense, but as I got further into it, I realized that it was an enjoyable, well-written novel. I strongly reccomend this book to people. The ending was especially great.

Rating:
Summary: A modern classic for the "must read" list.
Review: Bradbury's chilling and well-written vision of an all-too-possible future is absolutely timeless. It succeeds in its purpose of encouraging readers to take a second look at their own society, values and beliefs. The resulting parallels between Bradbury's creation and our own existence are discomforting at times. "Farenheit 451" has been required reading in many schools for many years; this indeed is where I first read it. To any other reader, student or otherwise, I say this: View reading this book as a privilege. The very fact that we as a society can peruse this outstanding work and form our own opinions about it ensures that Bradbury's dire prediction of the future will remain only fiction.

Summary: Target Practice
Review: Heyyyy I had to read this book for school and it was the worst thing I ever read. A worthless good for nothing piece of junk! Actually it is good for something. I took this book with me to rifle practice and i shot at this instead of the target. I got busted but hey it was worth it. Mail me if you want a picture of my shooting.

Summary: The best book i have read!!!
Review: I think this was the best book that was ever printed. I don't understand why that one reviewer said that him and his friends stopped reading it after 5 pages. I think that there is something wrong with them. Maybe something in the head. Well, i recomend this book 105% to anyone.
