Summary: Duh!
Review: Duh!! it is supposed to be unrealistic and outrageous it is Sci-fi. i though it was a good book but a little confusing i had to re-read it to nderstand it and i had to pay attention. Other than that it was a preatty good bok but it could have been longer.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Turn the stove up to 451 degrees and throw this book in!
Review: Okay,first off I would like to say that I enjoy almost any book I read. This book has made it to the top of my "burn this book" list. Dont get me wrong, the idea was well thought up, but the book wasn't well written. First off, the book starts off with someone trying to commit suicide,and this character is saved even though she's totally wack. Second, the main character is named "GUY MONTAG". How origanal. Third, the people in this book are IDIOTS! I mean, first they outlaw all "offensive" material, then they condense great novels into two page stories,and then they sit around on thier butt all day watching the "family" argue and OFFEND each other. The best character in the book simply dissappears in the middle of the book, and then she is found dead. Not only that but no one has friends. Not even your spouse is your friend. What kind of wack society doesn't have friends. This book needs to be re-written, and seriously re-done

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thinking is for LOSERS!
Review: This book was really good and made me think a lot more about society and censorship. We are already at the point where everything we think about has already been thought for us(news, magazines,media,etc.). I guess as long as one is happy with society we will always be ruled and brainwashed by the government. Anyways...read this book it'll make you think about real life and how lucky we are that society isn't as screwed up as it could be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could this be our future?
Review: People in our reality spend time watching TV. People in Bradbury's novel spend time watching TV. Books are viewed as bothersome items by society in our reality. Books are illegal items that many in Bradbury's novel's society view as bothersome. Could our reality become similar to FAHRENHEIT's reality? Buy FAHRENHEIT 451, read the book, and find out, before this book is burned.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sucked
Review: This was the WORST book I have ever read. I was also forced to read it, and it makes NO sense, and Ray Bradbury has made my life a living Hell.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book, a must read.
Review: One of those rares books which you can read over and over again

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BURN THIS BOOK!!!
Review: I was FORCED to read this book in school! It was pure TRASH! I thought I liked reading... well now I dont! Thanks a lot Ray Bradbury!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alarmingly realistic
Review: Bradbury is a master of the genre. In "Fahrenheit 451", he once again shows his literary genius. Proving points such as "knowledge is thy strength, fear is not thine strength". He shows the importance of the written word and the dangers of censorship. This book made me think, which is contrary to this book. It made me think about how much we take for granted, even if it is just thinking. As they say, an oldie, but goodie. Not to be missed

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Like it or not, it's a landmark.
Review: Really a mixed bag of reviews so far. Readers either like Bradbury's style or they can't stand it. But any reader who's at all awake has to respect him. His style is quite idiosyncratic, and so much the better. I consider him a master of what might be called the extended parable, and "Fahrenheit 451" seems to fit that description. It would be sad indeed to imagine American literature without "Fahrenheit 451," especially since it reflects the tenor of the time in which it was written, the era of Senator McCarthy, when anti-intellectualism was, again, rampant in the U.S

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The book did not get my attention
Review: There was nothing in the book that could get my attention so that I could really focus on the book very well I often found muself start to day dream in the middle of a page or something of the sort
