Fahrenheit 451

Summary: WOW!!!!!!
Review: My latest read was Fahrenheit 451. Everything about this book had thought in it. I am only 16 years old and I couldn't believe that someones words could move me so much. Ray Bradbury is truly a a marvel with words. I was suppose to read 11 pages a day but when I saw my self 60 pages into the book I couldn't put it down. The metaphors, similies, and powerful words were so overwhelming. Give me a break any man that can write, "...he knew why he must never burn again in his life. The sun burnt everyday. It burnt Time...So if he burnt things with the firemen and the sun burnt Time, that meant that everything burnt!" Wow! Even to write it inspires me. I had to read this book twice to get everything out of it and I still think theres more. I guess I haven't given a very good review but I feel you just can't describe perfection.

Summary: It is very interstive and creative, I love it !
Review: Thise book is very interstive and creative. I think Bradbury have a dream about the future.I read this book for my science-fiction class"Fahrenheit 451" It is such a nice book, but He must rewrite it because there are some places that have a things information in the book. For example; montage said he had been a fireman for 6 years at begning of the book, but there is a place on the book that saiys he had been a fire man for about ten years. Overall you should read thisbook if you like science-fiction book. I made a new cover and a movie poster for thise book; it is realy fun to read the boook you like.I am 8 Gradeand.

Summary: Worth far more than the cost
Review: It saddens me to see that some people gave this masterpiece such bad reviews, but it also frightens me, for our present has become the future Bradbury wrote about in F451. I will admit that the book can be confusing, but I will argue that it is intentionally so, and any 'loose endings' Bradbury has left were left in to make you think about the possibilities. I absolutely adore this book, and am at a complete loss for words to express how much I admire the author for writing it.

Summary: Best before: the age of 16
Review: I read most of Bradbury's books when I was a teenager, I read some of them again in my twenties, but it was "Fahrenheit 451" that I had to review in the literature section of my Ph. D. work on loneliness. Censorship certainly is the main theme, but another aspect of the book really touched my and might increasingly become critical for the 90s: I mean the feeling of being mentally isolated from a civilization that seeks nothing but distraction and variety - perfectly supplied by superficious media. Compared to this tendency, books might resemble dinosaurs, they require concentration, tranquility and a reader who is willing to think about the content. Every time I think of Guy Montag, I feel a little bit lonelier in this hasty culture. Unlike the end of the story, you shouldn't wait for collective self-destruction, from an individual point of view it will never be too late to re-discover the quality of slowliness in life, the taste of a conversation with somebody listening and understanding...

Summary: Great book!
Review: I read this novel when I was in the 7th grade and found it wonderful. If you like sci-fi or just Bradbury than this will be a great book for you. I am only in 8th grade and recomend this to anyone with an imagination. I loved this book so much I am going to buy a copy of it.

Summary: One of the greatest books ever write
Review: This book is one of the best I have ever read. The people who reviewed it poorly actually help show why its so important.Their comments about how they were forced to read agianst their wishs parell completely with the books theme. The books view that "books were banned because they made people think, when they didn't want to" is proved to be much more prevelant now that it was in the 1950's. If you love books, bradbury, and have the ability to think then this is a good book for you.

Summary: Alright, but sort of weird
Review: Ray Bradbury's book, Fahrenheit 451 is actually a pretty good book. I read it in seventh grade and I recommend it to anyone who likes books. Fahrenheit 451 has a very captivating plot and is pretty well written, but at some parts it got extremely confusing, especially at the part when Guy Montag's wife took too much drugs or something like that. I read that part over 50 times and I still didn't get it until I had to asked my brother.

Summary: A novel about fireman who are paid to set books ablaze
Review: This book was very interesting to read. This was my first time reading about the issue of censorship. I had recently wrote an essay about censorship and with the help of this book clearly made it easier for me to understand the issue better.

Summary: A chilling premonition of the future
Review: I have previously read other book by Ray Bradbury, and it is true to say that I enjoyed this one the most. I don't really enjoy reading, but this book made me realize, maybe I should start. We were forced to read this book in school but, I didn't mind so much. This book really makes you thin of what the worls might become if we don't take action now. Technology will eventually get out of hand, and then we will need people like Granger to help us get our society out of the dilemma. I think everyone should read this book. Sure there are some boring parts where I found myslef falling asleep, but I recommend it to all ages.
