About The Book
NOW AN HBO FILM STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN AND MICHAEL SHANNON
Sixty years after its originally publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.
Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
My Review
I have had Fahrenheit 451 on my to be read list for quite a while and I decided now was the time to read it.
This book has moving passages that are certainly quotable and makes the reader want to pause a moment.
I enjoyed the language, the message and yes, even the creepiness factor of this science fiction novel. I read the introduction and if you read this book, I recommend doing the same.
A powerful novel.
