Nowadays firemen start fires. Fireman Guy Montag loves to rush to a fire and watch books burn up. Then he met a seventeen-year old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid, and a professor who told him of a future where people could think. And Guy Montag knew what he had to do....

Summary: A Great Book
Comment: Fahrenheit 451 was the first novel to describe what would happen if people couldn't think. It is an interesting story that you don't find much. The world it draws up has no basis. This is because people can't think. In Fahrenheit 451, people are not allowed to have books because the government is afraid of an educated society. This book is very distressing because censorship could happen today. If there was censorship, the world would become dull and disturbing, as nothing would happen. There would be no great events, and this would cause no one to realize anything. This is the reason that it is still popular today. It is because of how controversial it is, in the fact of the world it portrays.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Well ahead of its time
Comment: Fahrenheit 451 is a masterful speculation of what the world would look like if events continued to unfold in its destructive progression. What happens to our cognitive abilities when we are glued to the "wall" every night, plug our ears with sound, and shut ourselves in our homes? Who are our families? Do we care about our neighbours, or even our own families? A great book, and a must read!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Timeless piece
Comment: This is a book that really get writers hooked. A society that didn't care fore book... Oh my! What will happen to mankind if the wisdom of time pass weren't available anymore? and then what will happen to you, if you were to oppose the silence of the books? A great tale and a lot of wisdom.
