Book Reviews of Fahrenheit 451
Book Review: 451 review by Jessica C.
Summary: 2 Stars
when i read Farenheit 451, my first impression was that this book is so screwed up. i mean like who would want to not read a book. thats just so wrong. the one thing i did like about the book was Guy's wife, Mildred. i liked her alot because she said that the t.v was her family. she was a little crazy though. i also liked the part where she called the firemen and told them that Guy had books. then she walked out on him. i also liked the mechanical dog. that was something very original. i gave the book 2 stars because i really thought that it was a waste of time to read it. but you know, that is only my impression of the book.Writen By:

Summary: 5 Stars
The best reviews here have already covered it. It's a great quality book for the price, easily readable, and of course it's an amazing story you don't want to miss.
Get this book, read it, love it, then buy a more expensive model of it for the bookshelf.
Book Review: A Bad Book
Summary: 1 Stars
The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury in my opinion is extremely confusing and difficult to read. The setting is in a futuristic world, where books are banned and anyone who is caught with books are prosecuted. The main character, Montag, is a fireman whose job is to burn books. The world he lives in is plain and dull, and he becomes desperate for something exciting, so he begins to read the books that he burns. Once caught by his fellow fireman, Montag must flee from his home and run away to escape imprisonment or possibly death. In the book, some of the concepts are hard to understand, and the futuristic conceptions in the book may confuse the reader. The vocabulary isn't too difficult, but there are sections of the book that may set the reader off track. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone younger than the seventh grade level, and I would recommend this book to people who like science-fiction. Personally, I thought this book was very boring and it didn't capture my interest.Book Review: A Book for Thinkers
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are a thinker, Faherenheit 451 is book for you. You will also want to read Zollocco: A Novel of Another Universe.Book Review: A Burning Thought
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't read this book for some time, but in my town's recent election, we voted down a library tax nearly 2 to 1. Upset, I wrote a "scorching" essay to the local paper about how we should just burn our books if we refuse to fund the library.Writing the essay allowed me to appreciate just how brilliant this book is. It is dubbed a "classic" for a reason - the residue will remain with you long after you have read it. It has been about five years since I read this book, but I still recall many details, themes and characters in the novel with great clarity.
A book to make you passionate about reading books! Self-serving, maybe, but what wonderful treasures they are. And to find a book that so opens the mind and stirs the soul is priceless. If you haven't read this book (why not?!?) it is without a doubt worth your time - and you, fair reader, deserve the enjoyment it will bring you. For those who've had the pleasure of reading the book, let me say I'm going to dust off my copy. I hope you do the same.
