Fahrenheit 451

Summary: Bradbury Excells
Review: Bradbury's future Hell/America and protagonist Guy Montag bring to light several questions and ideas that are frighteningly real, especially in light of recent court cases daeling wioth Internet censorship. This fuure America is one where the general public is dumbed down and "conditioned to apathy" by television and radio, to a point where existence depends on these electronic suggorate families. Chillingly close to home in it's implications - these words cannot do it justice - a classic, and a must-read

Summary: Bleak, Blind, and Boring.
Review: Being forced to read it in school for its "so called"relation to censorship (sp?) I would have to say !!BURN IT!! Althoughthe book is about censorship and why/how it is wrong I can't say much good about it. The theme itself is good, but the story itself is trash. One of the most un-realistic ideas i've ever heard. First off, everyone in the country is an idiot. Second, that includes the hero. Third, even those who have minds of their own have no intellegence. And finally, way to many cracks in the foundation of the story and two many holes in the story itself. L8r.

Summary: Frighteningly real
Review: This book about a fireman (burns books) turned good was written in the '50s but still remains terribly relevant today. The descriptive language, imagery, and symbolism all combine to make this book the best I have ever read. If you believe in the 1st Amendment, read this book

Rating:
Summary: an unbelievably realistic depiction of an anti-world
Review: This is undeniably Bradbury's best. Though difficult to follow quite often (his use of symbolic imagery can be confusing), the surprise ending removes all veils that kept the book from being understood. If you read this book you will find yourself quoting from it, because as long as limited Freedom of Speech exists, so will the message that this book depicts.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Ray Bradbury takes us into the future where the government burns books to keep people from thinking and/or rebelling. I think that these circumstances could be somewhat true to the future of this world. Dictators have burned books throughout history to keep the people tame in their ideas. We should all just step back and say,"Hey, do we really want to give the government this much power. I mean, what happened to power to the people

Rating:
Summary: ASTOUNDING!
Review: Absolutely the very best book written in modern history which shows us the value of our convictions! If you never read another book, DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

Rating:
Summary: Confusing, yet unmistakably a masterpiece
Review: An extremely confusing book. The parts which I could follow were few and far between. Yet when I finished, I extraordinarily understood what the author was was getting at. If you are one to finish books, at the end of this one you will be very fulfilled

Rating:
Summary: frighteningly realistic, astounding
Review: Bradbury tells a bizarre tale of a world were firemen burn books, books are banned, and vidio media rules. What is most frightening is the stunning reality of his tale. Bradbury saw to the future, even most of this novel's technology is correct with today's society. All in all, a fine book, true to nature, and exciting.

Summary: A frightening look at our world's future
Review: One of the best books you will ever read. A story that you will never forget

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book brings up points about the control that our government could have over us if we let it. It raises issues about Cable, and letting the technological wonders of the 90's take over the simplest pleasures. It is written brilliently, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who liked Animal Farm, or 1984
