Rating:  Summary: Fahrenheit 451 Review: Fahrenheit 451 is a book is filled with action and suspense. If you like a book that has many twists and turns, then you'll enjoy this book by Ray Bradberry. He tried to write about what he thought would be the worst future, with no books. They would set books onfire, because to read and poses a book is unlawful. The people believed that books made people upset, think up different ideas, and unequal. The firefighters we know now would set things on fire, not put out the fire like they do now. This book is fairly easy to understand, middle schoollers should be able to understand the vocabulary.
Rating:  Summary: Fahrenheit 451 Review: Fahrenheit 451 was an interesting book, not because of it's plot, but because of the way it made you think. It's exemplification of the way too much censorship can ruin the world makes you a little more aware of censorship everywhere. The book is about Montag, a fireman who starts fires that destroy books. In this futuristic world, Books are not allowed due to the controversy they create. People who do not follow the strict code of staying home and watching TV are persecuted. One day, after a meeting with a girl, Montag begins to realize the true beauty of books. Not a terribly hard book to read, Fahrenheit 451 had a few difficult vocab words and a few chaotic scenes, but mostly kept the plot simple. I would recommend this book to 6th or 7th graders trying to expand their vocabulary, or anyone else who wants a book that makes them think. I give this book a 7/10, only because I like more complex plots.
Rating:  Summary: Skip 451 Review: Basically, Fahrenheit 451 is a let down. The drop off ending cuts off the futuristic plot's potential. There is much colorful vocabulary, but some metaphors are so elaborate and sudden that one hardly knows whether something is actually happening or if it's just a figment of the character's imagination. It is more confusing that challenging to read. The main character, Montag, has a fairly interesting conflict. The only problem is that it is not resolved enough by the end of the book to leave the reader satisfied! Plus, the only moral or meaning from the book is given away early on, leaving nothing to motivate the reader. I recommend this book to nobody, because they will be disappointed.
Rating:  Summary: Fahrenheit 451 review Review: The book, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, is a perfect example of a science fiction book. This book is about the life of a fire fighter named Guy Montag who lives in a futuristic city where books are banned. The job of fire fighters in his view of the future are to set books and the houses they are hiding in on fire. The reasoning for this is that books are said to be evil and contain many different thoughts and emotions that are considered "dangerous" if people are exposed to them. This book pretty difficult to read based on its challenging vocabulary and its confusing situations. I would recommend this book to people no younger than 7th grade based on the content of the book, and I would recommend it to people with a strong interest in science fiction and futuristic books.
Rating:  Summary: You can't put it down! Review: The book Fahrenheit 451 is an exiting book filled with suspense, you are always waiting to read what happens next. You can hardly put it down! Though it is not the style of book that I normally read, I liked it a lot, enough to read others like it. This was a good book, yet the vocabulary was lacking, and I have preferred other science fiction books, like Enders Game. I would definitely suggest this book to a wide variety of readers, including those who do not read science fiction books.
Rating:  Summary: Fahrenheit 451, Burning Up My Brain Review: I read Fahrenheit 451 this year, in the seventh grade, as a required reading. As I read this book, I got more and more confused. The plot twisted and turned and left me hanging wondering "wait... what happened?". Mr. Bradbury used large words that I learned as vocab. I would recommend this book to no one under the age of about 13, maybe 12. I chose this age because of the hard concepts of burning books and the fast-moving plot of the hound.
Rating:  Summary: A Bad Book Review: The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury in my opinion is extremely confusing and difficult to read. The setting is in a futuristic world, where books are banned and anyone who is caught with books are prosecuted. The main character, Montag, is a fireman whose job is to burn books. The world he lives in is plain and dull, and he becomes desperate for something exciting, so he begins to read the books that he burns. Once caught by his fellow fireman, Montag must flee from his home and run away to escape imprisonment or possibly death. In the book, some of the concepts are hard to understand, and the futuristic conceptions in the book may confuse the reader. The vocabulary isn't too difficult, but there are sections of the book that may set the reader off track. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone younger than the seventh grade level, and I would recommend this book to people who like science-fiction. Personally, I thought this book was very boring and it didn't capture my interest.
Rating:  Summary: Fahrenhet 451-AGHHHHHH Review: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury...all I can think of is hard to believe, boring, and extremely hard to follow. This story takes place in a place that is supposed to be in the future where books are restricted and illegal. Firemen did not go to set out fires, but to light books on fire. The main character of this story is Guy Montag, who is a fireman. He becomes friends with an odd girl named Clarisse. She changes his mind about his job and how life should really be. Television is more important than family in this story, and Montag's wife, Millie, refers to the people in the television as her 'family'. This book was very original and out of the blue and also creative. Ray Bradbury's writing style was very interesting. He used a lot of skilled vocabulary that was confusing, and the whole book was like a jumble of words that were hard to understand. Some of the ideas in the book did not really pertain to the book's plot. I would definitely not recommend this book to anyone below the seventh grade. I am a seventh grader in Massachusetts and I hated this book. I didn't like it because it was so boring and it goes really slow. Fahrenheit 451 is this kind of book that makes you feel like reading it was a whole waste of time because it was so boring and pointless. I would recommend this though to people above the seventh grade who like science fiction book. If not, this book is not recommended at all by me.
Rating:  Summary: Expectations Review: Not being a passionate Science Fiction reader, I did not enjoy Bradbury's writing ideas and form. I found this book to be a very slow read, not moving very fast. Some of Bradbury's ideas did not seem to fit into the story. I found this story to be too far into the future to relate to. I found the action of burning books to be very unreal in any society. I have read some other stories from Bradbury and part of one of his other books, Dandelion Wine, and Fahrenheit 451 did not match up to some of Bradbury's other works.
Rating:  Summary: It's Mediocre. Review: The book Fahrenheit 451 is a mediocre quality book. It is rather easy to read (7th grade level) and is also easy to follow. The writing style is different because the culture is very different from anywhere today. The plot is also different due to books are banned in this world. This book is recommended to people who dislike books because this book shows the world without them, so those people may reconsider their opinions.
