Farenheight 451 - Ray Bradbury Part 1

I didn't like this book very much. It is really dense and boring partly because sometimes people in the book will talk for 3 pages straight. It is about a man named Montag in a future world who is a fireman, but firemen burn books instead of putting out fires. Many people around him are unhappy, but he loves his job until Montag starts to question his job and the world he lives in. This symbolizes things about a possible future world, that Ray Bradbury predicted would happen right around now, since this book was written a while ago. We are lucky it hasn't happened, but maybe books will be gone sometime soon and replaced by kindles and ebooks...

  2. I agree: the premise of this book is good, but it's really dense. Nice job saying what you really think.
