Fahrenheit 451

Rating:
Summary: Good book
Review: This is definitely a well written book. It's one of those books that has a message and makes you see the similiarities between our world and Bradbury's fictional world of the future. It's short and to the point, if you have a few spare hours you should definitely read this book. It makes you THINK.

Summary: A futuristic page-turner!
Review: A remarkable tale of censurship and the decay of human knowledge. This is the first Bradbury book I've read and I must say that it impressed me greatly. Not only is it extremely easy to read, but it has a remarkable (yet chilling) plot.

Summary: One of the best Utopian books I have ever read!
Review: I thought that "Fahrenheit 451" was a superb representation of what our society is turning into . Bradbury explained in great detail how book reading, libraries and thinking would diminish in the future.(which is the 90's) I thought book burning was the end to learning and clearly represents some people and their beliefs today.

Summary: A book that makes you stop and think about our world today!!
Review: In 1980 I had to read this book for one our class assignments. I was brought into the world of the book burner, and was scared! This could really happen, I kept saying this over and over. I have been trying to locate this great book for years! Now I can share this with my children, and hope they see what I did, and to insure that it never does!

Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER
Review: I think that Fahrenheit 451 was an outstanding book to read. At first I was mad at the point that i had to read as reading assignment for school. But as contiued reading I was very happy that I read this book. I also believe that this may happen in the future so be careful what you wish for. So if you have not read this book read now and you will see what I'm talking about.

Summary: Excellent!!! My #1 book of all time!!!
Review: I was actually forced to read this book for a high school english class, and fell in love with it. It's simply chilling in it's portrayal of the "future" and the deliberate ambiguity about Clarrise is very cool. The deeper themes in this book make it one completely rife with feeling. A very poignant book, it's definitely a must-read.

Summary: Are you happy?
Review: Bradybury proposed advertizing which is everywhere, kids who kill one another for no reason, people who no longer even bother to think for themselves because their thoughts are fed to them by TV. Tell me this isn't America in the 1990's. And Bradbury had it right in the 50's. And Clarisse stills haunts me, asking "Are you happy?" I hear her every time I think to purchase something I have seen advertized, something I think will improve my happiness. She had it right, real experiences make us more alive, not what we buy.

Summary: Interesting, futuristic
Review: Kind of confusing, but is wonderful once you get into it. Really makes you think. I had to read for school but I would have even if I didn't have to.

Rating:
Summary: Had a lot of suspense at times
Review: It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I could just visualize what was happening. It was the second-best science fiction book that I had ever read (the best book being the Giver).

Rating:
Summary: Incredible literature (I am only 11)
Review: I thought that this book was great and it really makes you wonder. This book was written by a person who had a great imagination, the best. And like Einstein said, "Imagination is more important that knowledge." Which I thought was the moral of the book. I would reccomend this book to anyone who wants to read where one page makes you read the next.
