Rating:  Summary: Incredible! Review: This novel portrays the abuse of technology, and how it can permanently alter society in traumatic ways. Fahrenheit 451 is one of Ray Bradbury's most influential masterpieces. It has the power to change your "mindset" on our world, and, basically, your idea of the "fate" of our species.
Rating:  Summary: The Review Review: I by reading this book I learned many interresting thing on the future. the future is fulled with many possiblitys and learning. hi
Rating:  Summary: Farhrenheit 451 Review: I thought that story of farhrenheit 451 was a very good book but yet it was very confusing in some parts. The plot behind the book is very simple to me but the hole basic story is kinda wierd, maybe because its written in such a theretical that sometimes I just get lost. Anyway the story is about a fireman named Guy Montag who burns books in the future. throuhout the story he is incounterd with a little girl who challenges him to free himself and to feel his emotions and to do what he feels is right but he is also incounterd by his commanding officer that believes burning books and killing the people who have them is the right thing to do in the society that they live in today. Although Montag follows the wishes of his commanding officer he decides to do away with being a fireman and to do what is right and educate his society on books but his wife Mildred turns Montag in because she is scared of what the fireman will do to her if she is caught with the books in her house. After Montags house is burnt to the ground he decides to run and hide from the police until he meets up with the book people. When he meets up with the book people he tells them that he used to be a fireman and that he has changed and now the police and the fireman are after him. At the end the city gets bombed and Guy meets back up with Mildred and him and the book people decide to build and miror factory so the can look at themselfs to see who they realy are inside.
Rating:  Summary: Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury Review: Well i thought that the book was very interesting. Some parts were a little confusing that's all. I really liked when Mildred would talk to the television as her own family. I wish that Clarisse and Montag would of gotten together.
Rating:  Summary: Think About it Review: I think Fahrenheit 451 is a great book to read. In this book it talks of a futuristic society. In this society people are not allowed to read or own books. The novel tells us that books kept getting smaller and smaller until there were no books and nobody read. Even in today's society we can see this happening. Novels replaced by Cliff notes, cliff notes replaced by summaries only a paragraph long, and even these summaries are being replaced by movies, which you don't even have to read. Tolerance of books is diminishing in our society. People no longer wish to read books we sit in front of the TV and even our interactions with other people is hindered by this. I think this book is an excellent book to read. It changes how you see things. The book is written in a way that you can understand the confusion and anger the main character (Montag) is feeling. I read this book for my 6th period English class at East High School.
Rating:  Summary: Fahrenheit 451 Review: The book Fahrenheit 451 is a good book. I liked this book because it was full of suspense and al ways keep me thinking about what would happen next.It also illustrated what the world could be like in the future if we were not allowed to think for ourselves and learn by reading books. In this world it was as if there was so much technology that people didn't have to think for themselves. I enjoyed reading this book very much.
Rating:  Summary: It was great! Review: This book that we read in class was really good. It was really interesting how the book was written. Having it placed in the future was really cool and it was a different than other books that I have read. Ray Bradbury seemed to have a really creative imagination. I really liked the plot and the setting of the book. It (like I stated before) was different. I liked the way the author used the different characters to support the one main charater, Montag in his troubles in his own life. I would be interseted in reading more books by him in the future.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: I really enjoyed Fahrenheit 451, it was a very entertaining book. I hope many of these concepts never come true though. Occurances such as burning books, no speed limit would cause the world to be very crazy. There was never dull point in this book. I found these concepts very thought prevoking and interesting. This book explains what it would be like living in this type of surreal world.The idea of having no pedistrians allowed would would also be very strange. All in all, it was a great book.
Rating:  Summary: Fahrenheit415 Review: I thought this novel was great. Bradbury's descriptions of the characters of his novel helped the reader to understand what they had to do with this novel. This story is great for anyone who likes fictional storys. In this book which is based on the future describes life as being happy 24 hours a day. The world it takes place in is a place where fireman start fires they don't put them out. Also speeding in legal but having or reading a book is illegal and the price you pay for having one is that the fireman burn your house down and you just might be injected with a four inch needle by thier mechanical hound. If you like suspence and wierd but good ending to a novel i would suggest you read this novel.
Rating:  Summary: Fahrenheit 451 Review: I thought that this novel was great if you like fictional stories with a wierd but understanding ending. Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 was based in the future where fireman did not put out fires but started them. Speeding was legal,books were outlawed including no reading except for fireman which could have them up to 24 hours. If you were caught with a book in your house, the fireman and their mechanical hound would burn your house down. The theme of this novel was happieness. This novel was very well wrote. Bradbury had action, suspence which keep me reading and oh the quizzes my english teacher gave us, also wonderful description of the characters and what role they played in the story.The novel over all was great and i would recommend anyone who just likes to read to read it.
