Farenheit 451: A Must Read (Edited 7/10/01)

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 1999
The Bottom Line: One of Bradbury's best. A must read for every book lover.
Review: *****Edited July 10, 2001*****

I have read and re-read this book numerous times. It is one of Mr. Bradbury's best novels ever. You can sympathize with the main character throughout. It tells a fantastic story about what can happen with...

In Honor Of All Banned Books...

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2000
Review: Instead of choosing one from the frighteningly long list of books frequently banned in America, I have chosen a novel which surprisingly does not appear on the list. Fahrenheit 451 is perhaps the definitive word on censorship, as well as the most...

Firemen Who Actually Start Fires!

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 1999
Review: Fahrenheit 451 is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. It is very deep and will make you think long after you have finished it. A mix between sci fi and fantasy, Bradbury takes you into the next millenium, where books are no longer...

Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 ignites my Fuhrer, er, furor

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: is on fiyah! HE'S ON FIYAH!
Review: Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is a cerebral novella that terrifies with its recollection of history and clairvoyance. The events depicted aren't farfetched in any way; reading Nien Cheng's Life and Death in Shanghai can prove their verisimilitude...

Fahrenheit 451: If It Bothers You, Burn It

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: A tightly-written, highly symbolic work of sci-fi about the dangers of thoughtlessness; worth the time it takes to read.
Review: Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn 'em to ashes, then burn the ashes.

So goes the fireman's code in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 (1953). 451 is the temperature in which books burst into flame, hence the...

451: Burning Bright

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2000
Review: The splash tag on this book is just as honest and prevalent today (if not more so) as it was at the time of the printing for the edition that I have (1976-the book is copyrighted for 1950): "One of the most important books of our time." Unlike most...

The unexamined life

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: Horrifyingly prescient and still striking out against those that would deny us the right to be different.
Review: "Fahrenheit 451" is a science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury.

Guy Montag is 30 and is having a mid-life crisis. Like all modern men having a mid-life crisis he gets involved with a younger woman. In a normal novel this would normally lead...

Burning Books...? Expectations Up In Flames

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: Nothing special in my mind. Perhaps somewhat "revolutionary" for it's time, but a poor reflection on Bradbury in general. Try one of his later books first.
Review: After hearing so much about Ray Bradbury and this work in particular, I decided to pick up a copy and read it for myself. You see, this is one of those books that everyone reads in high school (or at least everyone did in my school) for some or...

Another Great Bradbury Story

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is a great book by Bradbury, he gives his opinion on censorship. This book is good for anyone of any age.
Review: I am personally a big fan of all of Ray Bradbury's stories. All of his stories find some ways to ridicule our society or to show his opinion on how technology has or will ruin us. This book in certain ridicules how bad censorship will be in the...

Brings fire into my life!

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend reading this book, whether you're bored or it's on a list of summer readings you must do, or just for fun. Great book!
Review: I normally don't read books unless I'm required to for school. This book I randomly chose for a summer reading about 5 years ago, and till this day, my eyes light up when I think of this Fahrenheit 451!

type: Science Fiction
