Summary: Farenheit 451 was aight
Review: I thought Farenheit 451 was a good book. It takes a while to get to the point though. It just starts of a little slow thats all I Mean. I really enjoyed the description done by Bradbury in the book his detail was very distinct. In the first half of the book the main character Montag a firefighter trys to discover himself. After all a firefighter starts fires in this story, and that might get to a person after a while. He wants to know why firefighters are supposed to burn books and why books are so bad.In the second half of the book Montag starts to use his head and stop letting everyone else control him. He becomes a fugitive and this is where the action begins. He ends up being chased by mechanical dog's and hellicopters and gets in fights with flamethrowers. I think that sais it all for the second half of the story. The soft Sci-Fi novel was very interesting and gets you thinking. I enjoyed it alot and hope everyone else gets a chance to read it and post their opinion.

Summary: Fahrenheit 451
Review: Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, is a book that attacks what our society is becoming. Yes, we have a long way to go to be in a state where books are outlawed and firemen start fires instead of stopping them. But still, we have a good head start. People come home from work and plop on the couch and watch TV. You have to be an intellectual to read books. It's just not the norm anymore. In this book, TV has taken over people's lives with wall to wall TV screens. The imagination is lost in the hours of meaningless violence and comedy that is blasted through cables to people's homes. Then, through an array of events, the main character, Montag, starts to wonder about things and think for himself. With society frowning upon thinking, he's in a world of trouble. Fahrenheit 451 is a book that makes the reader think "What really is important in my life?"

Summary: Decent Book
Review: Bradbury expounds a firghtening message in Farenheit 451. The book details life where firefighters burn the corpus of many well known authors such as Faulkner and Shakespeare. The book shows the importance of an outlet where people can express their ideas. This message is increasingly important as we near the horrific society portrayed in bradbury's novel. Like the society in F451 we are becoming dependent on television. Books are in a period of quiesence. The book sends it's theme, but it sends it with a hammer. If my memory serves, the book is no larger than 170 pp. Bradbury innundates every paragraph towards the end with his theme. The book is overly sententious, and I wish it was longer. The end seemed rushed and out of a cheesy b movie. Despite this flaw, Bradbury's prose is to die for. In simple, specific words Bradbury manages to convey a convoluted theme. This will remain a classic for years to come, that is if we still have books. Hopefully, F451 will recrudese book's in the future. One can only hope that our grand children will giggle over Wodehouse or marvel at F451.

Summary: If you can read this book....
Review: ....and not feel outraged at the well-intentioned censors of the world, then you probably didn't understand it. But then, you probably wouldn't be shopping here for books, either. In a world in which literature and philosophy and all "deep" writings suffer the fate of the lost library at Alexandria, Montag's dilemma involves all of us.

Summary: Very Interesting
Review: Fahrenheit 451 was very realistic and makes you wonder if the world will turn out like that. Ray Bradbury is also a great author. His description is very good. Fahrenheit 451 is almost a little to advanced. It is hard to imagine the world ever getting that way. I personally prefer books that could actually happen and this seems very unreal.But does keep you wondering what will happen. Many youth seemed to like this book and I think it was very interesting.

Summary: And you thought we had tough laws...
Review: Can't drive slow. Can't think deep thoughts. Can't have individuale ideas. Can't go for a walk. Can't read. If you had to live in a society where these were the rules how would you perform? Well in Ray Bradbury's clasic novel Fahrenheit 451, these are a few of the rules. This is a society where most people only care about themselfs. The firemen are more like policemen then firemen. They are responsible for up holding the law. If anyone if found to have a book it is the job of the firemen to take care of the situation. With flamethroughers in hand they burn not only the books but the building that houses them. It is said that firemen never have put out a fire. Guy Montag is a fireman. Occurring to Guy Montag: "It was a pleasure to burn." Montag loved his job immensely. To him the sent of kerosene was like perfume. Montag always exempted thing for the way they were. He was "happy". He had all the things he needed to be "happy". Why should he change. He would go to work, play cards, burn books, and go home. It was a simple life which most people led. This "happy" life would come to a sudden end, and his new life would begin, when he meets Clarisse.

Summary: Frank's thoughts of Fahrenheit 451
Review: This one of a kind novel by Ray Bradbury is an interesting story with many twists and turns from its almost boring beginnings to its dramatic and action-packed closing. As a soft science-fiction novel Mr. Bradbury made a powerful statement about what he thought the world was coming to with its ever evolving societies. Already some somewhat small groups of people are forbidding the reading of certain types of literature. In my personal opinion, I think that every person on the face of this Earth deserves to have a chance to read, Even if this book that a person decided to read went against all the morals that the society currently values.

Summary: Ok
Review: I felt the author of the book should of described the war a little more. Still I thought it had some very interesting perspectives on how the world might become.I thought it was weird how all the fireman looked the same. The mechanical hound was a great part of the story. It had us guessing if it would attack Montag or not. Over all I felt this book was well worth reading.

Summary: Confusing
Review: who ever wrote this dumb confusing book is in a mental state of mind! Fahrenheit 451 is a overworded description of a fireman who lives on rebellion! It is a bad influence on the young people of the world. THIS BOOK SHOULD BE BURNED!

Summary: Makes you think
Review: This book by Ray Bradbury was defintely an interesting book! i encourage that all students read it! This book made my imagination soar! With all the situtations that occured in this novel, it's so strange how it's all coming true! It made me wonder if the future will be like that with the 4-wall television and the mechanical hound! also with the suicide rate as high as it is in the book! At points this story was scary! Also it was definely a cliff hanger! i couldn't put it down, i ended up so far ahead of my class that i had to stop reading so i could relate to what was going on in class!This was one of the better books that i have read in the past! especially being assigned for class i was extremely surprised that i liked it as much as i did! so i encourage that the future english classes of the sophomore year read this novel because it makes you think, learn what the true meaning of life is, and also improves your vocabulary and your reading skills!
