Book Review of Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451
Alameda avatar reviewed on + 336 more book reviews


Ray Bradbury classic. Books are outlawed, they ignite at 451 degrees Fahrenhet (hence the title). They are burned where ever they are found. To have a book is to be an enimy of the state.

The real story is the social background that created the 'need' to burn all books. We keep coming back full circle.

Quick read, but slow yourself down - it's important later in the book (story). 167 pages
