Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It changes the way you thing about the future, books, and censorship. It is well written and hard to put down once you start it.

Summary: A strong statement on the moral condition of society
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I encourage the reading of it, for the plot is rousing and makes you want to jump up and help the character on his way. Bradbury is a master at writing and his style and grace in this book makes it a true classic.

Summary: The more times I read F451, the better it gets
Review: I am a 16-year-old and I also had to read this (in my holidays) for school. The book was very confusing at first, but it makes you think. This is the only sci-fiction novel I have liked. Those who hate this novel show themselves to be almost illiterate (just look for the spelling mistakes).

Rating:
Summary: Just reinstating what another has already said.
Review: I totally agree with "Reader from Vermont" Whoever you are, you summed up exactly how I felt about the book. I chose to read it because of all the hype. I was disappointed, I expected more. I feel that it is a good book, but overrated.

Summary: Fahrenheit 451 is totally awesome!
Review: Ray Bradbury's first book is absolutely captivating! I read it in my AP english class at school. His dealing with censorship was absolutley amazing. Most of the futuristic things in this story have become true since the 1950's when Bradbury wrote this book. Even if you don't like science fiction you'll love this book, I hate Science Fiction and I loved this book. You've got to read it!

Summary: A Scary Preview of the future of American Society
Review: I first read this book after my mother, a senior english teacher, was getting ready to have her students read Farenheit 451. I immediately fell in love with the book. In the almost 10 years since I fist read the book, I have read it over and over again. While in college, I wrote a paper for a Lit class showing the how Bradbury's science fiction is slowly becoming science fact (i.e. seashells= walkman. Its scary to see how a book written in 1953, as a work of fiction, is becoming reality. If you want to know what I mean, then read "Farenheit 451" and see for yourself. It is a definite eye opener that sends chills thorugh my body everytime I read it.

Summary: Bradbury's writing is sensational! A 1st-rate book!
Review: The sheer poetry of Ray Bradbury's words in F451 is absolutely amazing. Not only that, but he also gives a chilling look into a very possible future, were books are burned. And it shows how insignifigant and stupid people become without books. Bradbury is a 1st-rate writer, and Farenheit 451 is no exception. This and Dandelion Wine are his two best books EVER. A compelling, chilling story, and a must read for those who like futuristic stories, Bradbury stories, and poetic stories.
