A classic. Guy Montag, a man whose job it is to start fires, enjoys his job very much. He never considered how much joy and pleasure he had watching pages and pages being consumed by the flames, until her met her. She, a simple young seventeen-year-old, told him of a past where people were not afraid of what was out there. Books banned, thrown about, burned. Montag changes the whole image, he risks his job, his family, everything for justice and for the right thing to be done. An exceptional book full of real life problems we seem to still face today, Ray Bradbury takes a simple plot and turns it into something amazing. A must read for everyone.
