Fahrenheit 451

I absolutely loved this book. The bravery and conviction of the main characters is inspirational. In our world of instant gratification, lack of physical connections in favour of virtual and ever shortening attention spans, it feels scarily close to the dystopia Bradbury describes. I realise I am quite late to the party but would highly recommend it. I think the themes are even more frighteningly relevant now than when Bradbury wrote it 50 odd years ago. What can I say? Just read!

This is the first Bradbury book I read. It is easy to read and couldn't stop until i finished. It reminds me of Orwell's 1984. I wanted it to be longer, as it ends just when something new begins. His ingenious and forward-thinking writing in 1953 almost foretold the nightmare of the 21st century living and the undercurrent of social political threat to come.

The idea was good, and the writing was good, but the reading was extremely irritating. I am saying this because I have read the book, but didn't give it much attention. The chapters were pretty long, so it took me a while to dedicate a whole attention to it. I also didn't like the start because I was looking forward to like the characters that were at the start of the book, but since one of them got drown off (got killed) it gave me a hard time.

Montag was a pretty hard person to understand. And he actually got sophisticated to the extreme when I watched the new Netfilx adaptation(PG 15, I am sixteen so).

1.Its not for kids because it has got some violent scenes but also hard words.
2.Because they will not be interested in the genera on the first place which is sci-fi dystopian.

Written in the 1950's Fahrenheit 451 has uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create Western civilisation's enslavement through media, technology and conformity.
Along with Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World this is a classic that demands being read.

A unique, very readable, through-provoking and unnervingly 'real' science-fiction.

For the love of every books and the freedom, choice and hope books stand for read this book!
