Summary: Full Of thought
Review: This was one of the most thought filled pieces of work I have read since "Homer". However, do not attempt to read this book if you are not prepaired to use your mind. Many have hated it for this reason. Open up your mind to a new view of the world and government while experiencing the SiFi tradition.

Summary: A look into the future
Review: In the year 1953 Ray Bradbury wrote a book about something that, I think, could very well happen in the year 2000 and the years thereafter. The whole book, "Fahrenheit 451", is about the banning of books. This issue has gotten worse over the years and if it continues maybe firemen will indeed be paid to burn our books.In "Fahrenheit 451" Guy Montag, the main character, is a fireman who realizes people should have the right to read books. He realizes that books mean a lot to the people who own them and after years of never thinking twice about burning a house down he watches a woman burn herself with her house because she wanted to die right along with her books. Guy comes up with a plan to get revenge on other firemen in an effort to stop book banning. At some points of the book Ray Bradbury's writing was a bit confusing. He brought up different characters and stories out of the blue and I really had to think to figure out how those events pertained to the main story. "Fahrenheit 451" was the second science fiction book I've read by Ray Bradbury. I also read "October County", a book of short stories. I do have to say that that book was also confusing, but was good because of the author's great description of places and people. "Fahrenheit 451" is good if you like to think while you read. I think it has a good message about the banning of books and I'm glad I spent my time reading it.

Summary: Thought-provoking and frightening. Absolutely wonderful.
Review: I love to read, always have, and this book has shown me why. The slow build-up Bradbury uses to show the awakening of a numbed mind is almost brutal. Reading along as Guy forces himself through the ashes of ignorance and blind faith which cover his artificial life, and into the stiff wind of knowledge and understanding, I understood. He begins to possess an amazingly powerful tool: the ability to use his mind to understand his world and why it, and we, are the way we are. Farhenheit 451 is an incredible book that, like the Handmaids Tale, is there to remind us (those of us who care) that the world may one day go wrong. I was very sorry to read some of the negative reviews though, like the others that loved the book, I noticed they came mainly from those who were forced to read the book in school. The book requires a certain mindset and understanding of what people are capable of doing. Students still in grade school or even high school are not ready to understand and see what the implications are if censorship is allowed. Ray Bradbury did a marvelous job in bringing home the importance of reading, and the resposibility that comes with it.

Summary: If you don't like this book, read this review
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is, first of all, a classic. It is definitely relative to our society today, and, even if not a great story (which it is), a great essay on the decline of individualism. Now, to the reviews: Most bad reviews on this book are written by people who were "forced" to read the book in school. I have never read a book for the first time in school that I liked. If you want to write a bad review of this book, at least have something to say other than that you were "forced" to read it in school, and it "sucks", for no given reason.

Summary: WOW!!!!!!
Review: My latest read was Fahrenheit 451. Everything about this book had thought in it. I am only 16 years old and I couldn't believe that someones words could move me so much. Ray Bradbury is truly a a marvel with words. I was suppose to read 11 pages a day but when I saw my self 60 pages into the book I couldn't put it down. The metaphors, similies, and powerful words were so overwhelming. Give me a break any man that can write, "...he knew why he must never burn again in his life. The sun burnt everyday. It burnt Time...So if he burnt things with the firemen and the sun burnt Time, that meant that everything burnt!" Wow! Even to write it inspires me. I had to read this book twice to get everything out of it and I still think theres more. I guess I haven't given a very good review but I feel you just can't describe perfection.

Summary: It is very interstive and creative, I love it !
Review: Thise book is very interstive and creative. I think Bradbury have a dream about the future.I read this book for my science-fiction class"Fahrenheit 451" It is such a nice book, but He must rewrite it because there are some places that have a things information in the book. For example; montage said he had been a fireman for 6 years at begning of the book, but there is a place on the book that saiys he had been a fire man for about ten years. Overall you should read thisbook if you like science-fiction book. I made a new cover and a movie poster for thise book; it is realy fun to read the boook you like.I am 8 Gradeand.

Summary: Worth far more than the cost
Review: It saddens me to see that some people gave this masterpiece such bad reviews, but it also frightens me, for our present has become the future Bradbury wrote about in F451. I will admit that the book can be confusing, but I will argue that it is intentionally so, and any 'loose endings' Bradbury has left were left in to make you think about the possibilities. I absolutely adore this book, and am at a complete loss for words to express how much I admire the author for writing it.

Summary: Best before: the age of 16
Review: I read most of Bradbury's books when I was a teenager, I read some of them again in my twenties, but it was "Fahrenheit 451" that I had to review in the literature section of my Ph. D. work on loneliness. Censorship certainly is the main theme, but another aspect of the book really touched my and might increasingly become critical for the 90s: I mean the feeling of being mentally isolated from a civilization that seeks nothing but distraction and variety - perfectly supplied by superficious media. Compared to this tendency, books might resemble dinosaurs, they require concentration, tranquility and a reader who is willing to think about the content. Every time I think of Guy Montag, I feel a little bit lonelier in this hasty culture. Unlike the end of the story, you shouldn't wait for collective self-destruction, from an individual point of view it will never be too late to re-discover the quality of slowliness in life, the taste of a conversation with somebody listening and understanding...
