Boring and stupid
This book was just plain boring. The plot was too heavy and too much information was stuffed into the beginning of the book. It moves at a very slow pace and never picks up. I had a snail that moved faster than this. Read something else.

Very Highly Recommended! An excellent symbolic warning to society of today!
Take a step into an alternate reality in which attempted suicides are a daily occurance and firefighters are relentlessly called to start fires. That is exactly what Ray Bradbury does in his excellent forewarning of a novel, Farenheit 451. Bradbury writes futuristically about a symbolic society that takes place around the time we are currently in. The society is one in which free thought of any sort is shunned if not completely blocked out by technology. Houses are filled with TV walls, 4 to a room all playing a different show, and front porches are completely done away with in the novel. The novel centers around Guy Montag a firefighter in the society who is discovering ideas he never thought possible to have.
Montag is a firefighter who makes a living burning down houses containing banned books which include anything historical or of a literary nature. He meets a strange neighborhood girl who's family is the odd-ball group of the town because they all get together and talk around a table at night. Within the discussions between Montag and the girl a notion crosses Montag's mind that is later developed when he watches a woman burn with her books rather than live without them. From this thought that maybe there is something missing from Montag's society, Montag ventures on a secretive and dangerous journey to discover what it is. During this journey Montag is hunted down, outed for concealing books, and forced to run away with other literary followers. In this journey he discovers that unlike his society believes, free thought is the true happiness. Montag and his group of literary followers are given a chance to redefine the then fast-paced, materialistic, and thoughtless society Bradbury describes.
The society in which Montag lives is one that denies any opportunity for free thought. This is seen in Montag's homelife, typical to his world in which he and his wife are overcome by technology every waking moment. Mrs. Montag spends her days with her "family" as she called it in a parlor. This family consisted of three wall-sized televisions each playing a different show. T.V. has even become a thoughtless act as shown when Montag questions his wife as to what she is watching and she can mention the names of the characters but cannot tell what action is taking place, only that she is amused by it. Mrs. Montag can only dream of the addition of a fourth Wall Television to keep her eyes occupied and mind blank. The action of having 3 blaring T.V.s in one room of Bradbury's society is an exaggerated symbol for the fast paced media we do have in the world today such as using cell phones while on the computer while a T.V. drones in the background. The commercials we see on T.V. now that are 10-30 seconds long and up to 5 minutes consecutively are a real life representation of the short of thought society Bradbury warned against and feared in Farenheit 451.
To enhance this theme of thoughtlessness in Bradbury's novel people in his society do not even have a chance to think while falling asleep. Mrs. Montag wears her seashell radio to bed every night. This seashell is not full of ocean sounds but instead radio and chatter that run through her ears and her mind all night while she sleeps. This defeats even the slightest chance for sound thought and therefore exemplifies once again Bradbury's warning and novel's theme that the media and technology we use, taken over the limit will prohibit thought and stop progress.

Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 is a novel that takes place far in the future where intelligence is altered by people who fear the knowledge that is gained from books.Firemen no longer put fires out but started them, burning everything amongst the path to former knowledge subscribed in books. The book has broken romance between a fireman named Montag and his wife. As she does unspeakable things to the man after he shows her a secret stash of books that destroys his life forever. Montag witnessed much destruction through the book all at the expense of knowledge. The book is a reminder of why we need to appreciate the knowledge that we are able to obtain. In this future setting the books were lost to the fear of people thinking for themselves. No book was left behind in the roaring flame. People no longer sat around and talked they were not able to simply explore the depths of their mind. The author uses imagery like no other as you read you feel like you were placed strait into an alternate universe. I feel that the book is a way to tell us that you may not appreciate the books that authors work many years to write as much as we need to and that it may affect our future generations in a negative way. There were many kind characters in the book trying to help Montag in his distress but evil took over. People died horrible deaths through injection and being burnt alive. This is the kind of evil that made books the enemy of society but everyone was blind to the fact that it was the people doing it to themselves and not the books corrupting their minds with false knowledge. The novel opens your mind to what is going on in your life at the exact moment you are reading and the fact that it could all change by one person deciding that they feel what they read is all false. Things change on the drop of a dime just as during the Nazi war when Hitler tried killing all the Jews this aspect of life is very important to remember and Fahrenheit 451 reminds you of this fact. The novel has such diverse moods and settings it is a great read for anyone who does not like to read books, because it engages them into the words of a man that spent so much time writing the novel for us to read.

Thoroughly enjoyable!
It was astounding to me how spot on the author had pegged much of the future while writing this book in 1953! He writes of a future where most people are obsessed with “Reality TV” and there are Televisions the size of your living room wall. Children have very little discipline or self control and school shootings, and teenage driving fatalities are a common occurrence. The government is in a war, but telling people not to worry about the details or the outcome. Everyone is self absorbed and obsessed with being happy, so they want things quick and fast; every task requires a short cut. This means that Books are a waste of time; all they do is make people stop and think and why would anyone want that? So reading books is against the law. Don’t get caught, your neighbors just might turn you in, and then the Firemen will come to burn your books and the house the books are in and just maybe you too. But what happens when a Fireman gets curious about the books he’s burning and wants to know what’s in them? Read it to find out, I highly recommend it!

A MUST READ
This is a powerfully disturbing 'must read' for everyone. A prophetic telling of the future, Bradbury has such a brilliant grasp of language and style as he tells a highly upsetting story in an easy and accessible manner. With Suzanne Collins Hunger Games sparking a new generation of dystopian literature, Bradbury was the master with his futuristic world in which, gasp, books are burned and reading is outlawed. If you have not yet read this masterpiece, don't waste any more time. Do it.

One of literature's best!
Written 50 years ago but still rings true in describing today's culture if you look at the themes metaphors,symbols and the message he's trying to tell. I think people who label it boring are just reading it literally and expecting a science fiction thriller.

Frighteningly Accurate
Farenheit 451 is one of my top 5 books at all time not because it's inventive or refreshing in the world of modern literature, but because it's so blatantly accurate. It tells the story of a man who is persecuted for his newfound love of literature in a future where literature is illegal. Now, this may seem like a crazy idea to some, but the society that is presented in this book is downright scary in that we're very nearly living in it.
As it stands in 2011, we are beginning to witness the commercial necessity of literature in a physical format disappear. With things like the Nook (no offense, B&N), hard copies of books are headed the way of complete luxury, and possibly beyond that they are headed the way of taboo. Ray Bradbury's target with Farenheit 451 is censorship, and literature is currently on the doorstep of absolutely horrifying censorship possibilities. In time, it's entirely possible that hought-provoking, heart-and-soul writing will be a button press away from extinction to the wealthy man who disagrees with what is being said.
Ray Bradbury is not a strict science-fictioner, so you don't have to be a sci-fi fan to enjoy his work. I would recommend most anything in his catalogue. And I would recommend this one specifically if you like to be given something to really think about with your reading. This is the kind of book that you can really sit down and talk about; it has some substance to it, as far as real world applications. If you like your fiction strictly fictional... well, this may not be the book for you.
In closing, I would like to add one more thing about how I came to read this book. I read Farenheit 451 at the recommendation of my best friend; we were not allowed to read it for our English class.2 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

A Good Book
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury starts off slow. The pages seem to stick together, coming untwined. The main character Guy Montag gives the impression as if he knows everything. He makes the whole scene that he is in is all planned. He expected what happened next for a few pages. The beginning was very confusing, because it mentioned things that not yet were explained. As I read on it became clearer, and clearer. Some parts became confusing again, but the entire book was well written. Clarisse is no doubt my favorite character. Her eyes were open to the world, nothing could stop her. She saw the world in a way no one else did, because no one else did. She was, literally, one of a kind in the world of Fahrenheit 451. She opened Montag's eyes, because they were blinded from the truth. She did with the simplest question, "'are you happy?'" Fireman, in the story, changed over time. They burned the books people read. The Government shut the eyes of its entire population, or so they thought. Some held on, held on to their books, and their reality. Are world can relate in a way to the world of Fahrenheit 451. They were glued to televisions; they also beat up, or made fun of the one that were different. In their world no one questions, they weren't even given choices to things, such as their president. Montag was what he eventually started hating, a fireman. I did not enjoy the scenes with his wife involved, she seemed so simple. She was even more than simple she was terribly, and utterly boring. I enjoyed the author's word choice. He selected big words that I was not familiar with. He always had me either grabbing a dictionary, or using context clues to figure out a word. He really increased my list of vocabulary. I did not enjoy everything though. I did not like how he always lingered with his explanations. But in all it was a very good book. He really had me reading, and guessing to the end.

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury
Although Fahrenheit 451 has a superior idea and message that inspired its creation, for me, Ray Bradbury fell short on the entertainment value. This book has a reputation that precedes itself, and I was excited to read one that I've heard so much about. That being said, I was left disappointed after a while.
Towards the beginning, I was hooked. It was so different for me to read a futuristic type book, and this had just the right amount of science fiction in it to begin with. I was looking forward to learning about Clarisse, who offered a little bit of mystery and a promise of change. But I think the turning point for me was reading about Clarisse's fate in the story. When I read this, I thought that either the character had their information wrong, or that they were lying about her. Turns out that I was wrong, and this thing had actually happened (I don't want to spoil it). After that, all I could think of was, "Why in the world would Ray Bradbury do that? It's pointless!" Now when I look back on it, it wasn't the most hare-brained idea as I thought it wax, but the way he wrote it into the story made it...strange, to say the least.
After that, I simply started liking the book less and less, until the end I wanted to skip pages to get it over with. Obviously I didn't, but it's never a good thing when I want to! There was nothing wrong with the plot-- it's actually extremely original-- but the author's style of writing was just bizarre to me. At times his sentences would run on in such a way that I wondered if I had missed something. It was never a case of a confusing, long, but complete sentence that you just had to read slowly-- the sentences were almost juvenile (in that one aspect, of course!). I think this type of thing that I saw throughout the book is what really made me dislike it, instead of a boring plot, flat characters, etc.
I hate to say that, because Ray Bradbury is supposed to be one of the best authors of his time, and I love to read (and do it constantly). I don't know if I have some kind of weird idea about his writing style and it's actually quite good, but I've read so many books that go deep into each character and the plots surrounding them, unlike Fahrenheit 451, and hardly ever has this style of writing made for a bad read.
All of this being said, however, I can't take away from the message of the book. I think, in this sense, Ray Bradbury knows what he's doing, and he does it well. I can imagine that, after it's release, Fahrenheit 451 got much positive feedback from the public, it being a novel of censorship and all. Back in the day, they most likely needed a book like this to move themselves along (though I think a book that does the opposite is needed in the current society).
All in all, I give this book three out of five stars. I may have given it four or five, but the above reasons changed my opinions about its value. I would recommend this book to someone who wants to read the classics, but I'm warning that it might not be as enjoyable as it's made out to be.2 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Very interesting
I had to read this book for school and I was worried that it would be one of those long and boring books that you had to read for school but I was pleasantly surprised. This book has an important message in it and really made me think more about our current society and it's possible future. I reccomend it to everyone I know that asks me to name some good books that they should read and I always say Farhenheit 451 first. This book really makes the whole world different and opens your eyes to the important issues our society faces at the moment and what might happen in the future. I highly reccomend this book!

School Review
Review: This book was about a fireman whose job it was to burn the houses that contained books. Citizens of the town called in to the Firehouse if they had a suspicion about someone having or using books. Many of the bibles had been burned, Shakespeare had been torched, and Hemingway was left in dust. Find out what a popular fireman does to help stop the burning. Someone who doesn’t care for reading should read this short story about appreciating the written works of writers.

Challenging but Good
I enjoyed Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury alot. Even though it is a challenging and old style worded book, it still has a good story. The characters are intriguing and the plot summary sometimes is slow but at the end of the second section, the book begins to turn very exciting and will keep readers attention and keep them guessing.
Mostly sci fi or fantasy readers will like.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Book Review Outline
Book title and author: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Title of review: Could have been better
Number of stars (1 to 5):
Introduction
I read Fahrenheit 451. Although, it was an ok book the concept was a bit of a stretch for me. It was difficult to imagine a world like the main character, Guy Montag, lived in. I think it could have been intended for an older audience. At some times it was hard to follow but I liked the challenge.
Description and summary of main points
The book definitely seemed to have an old timey feel, even though it was set in the future! The reason is that it was written in the 1950s by a man named Ray Bradbury. The story takes place in a futuristic town but the year is really in the 1990! Looks like that ban against books was never passed!
Evaluation
The plot of this book is about a man named Guy Montag who is a fireman from the future. Firemen in the future start fires not put them out. They spray kerosene on the books and set fire to them to ensure no one his breaking the law. He never questioned his job until he meets these two people, a young girl and an old man. They change his perspective a on things.
Conclusion
I thought this book's ending was semi- disappointing. The whole book its self wasn't terrible though. Over all I don't think I fully enjoyed this book. I definitely wouldn't recommen this to very many people though1 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

Fahrenheit 451
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a world where books didn't exist? Well that's almost the case in Fahrenheit 451. The only difference is that in the novel books aren't allowed to exist, although they do still exist. Montag is a fireman, but not one that you would think of in today's world. He was paid to burn books, houses, and the people if that's what needed to happen. Montag doesn't see why this is wrong, because he has never experienced any other world. His eyes are opened during this novel to a different view, one that he may just agree with.
Bradbury's theme in Fahrenheit 451 was this, books bring knowledge and individuality to the world, them being banned isn't going to rid the world of disagreement and war, it just gives people less free range to think on their own. As you read the novel you will see that people aren't stopping reading because it's the law, just as everyone doesn't stop speeding or drinking and driving. There is something so spectacular in those books that people would risk their lives to protect them, and maybe if everyone could find that same wealth of knowledge the books wouldn't be banned.
I believe the people of the novel think they live in a Utopia, because they're so sheltered from the real issues of the world. Montag's wife Mildred spends all day talking to people of her "parlor" because she has made those people a reality. She doesn't realize that books are a bigger wealth of knowledge then those parlor walls, and by reading those books she could gain individuality, and become aware of the past. People are scared to read because they think they're going to find out something atrocious. By taking away the books the government has taken away any chance of this society's survival. People need to know their history, they need to know the mistakes of the past so that they can learn from them, and the history resides in books.
I believe that this book is worth reading. It can be dry in parts, but it has a good lesson to be learned. Individual thinking and knowledge are something we can not live without. Books bring that to people, and although some people don't enjoy reading as much as they enjoy watching TV, it should be offered just the same.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Fahrenheit 451 Review
When I first saw Fahrenheit 451, I thought it would be just any other type of book focusing on an alternate reality of some sort. It started out with a thorough introduction to Guy Montag, the protagonist in the story, and the world he lives in. In Fahrenheit 451, the world is extreme and much different than ours, but somewhat similar. Firemen make fires, instead of putting out fires. Yet, both worlds are using technology to a degree, like the parlors relating to televisions and seashell radios relating to iPods. After introductions, it started to get into the climax by introducing an important character, Clarisse McClellan, who basically influenced Montag's whole adventure.
I loved the character Clarisse for numerous reasons. I liked how she saw the world in a quirky, childish manner. Apparently, so did Guy Montag because she influenced him to take a new perspective on things, and then leading him to a series of events. To him, she was extraordinary, out of this world, or even something brand new. She really made Montag think about all the books he was burning.
The conflict was very inticing and involving. I almost felt like I was Montag when he was hiding the book from his wife. I knew how nervous Montag must have been when Beatty came to visit Montag because he was sick off of work. I loved how even though Montag was alone in this world, Bradbury added one accomplice, Faber. Faber was like the wise old sage for Montag and gave Montag advice and directions on how to go about.
Ray Bradbury, the writer of Fahrenheit 451, did an astounding job of writing this book. I loved seeing the allusions, such as "flying too close to the sun." The voice and tone fit together perfectly. The message on censorship, ignorance, knowledge, and technology was very meaningful as well. He shows these messages by showing the extremes of them. For example, the government decided to censor the people in the story by burning books.
Overall, I loved the book. I admired Bradbury's writing style, especially the suspenseful parts, like Montag's escape. The characters had interesting personalities and actions, especially Captain Beatty and Clarisse. The antagonist was a bit tricky to identify though. It seemed to be society represented through Beatty, but then after a certain event it seemed to be the mechanical hound. I would recommend this book to anyone I know who likes issues like censorship, books, knowledge, ignorance, etc.1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Mrs. Quackenbush Book Review
This book was extremely interesting. The author was very descriptive throughout the entire novel. His use of imagery gives readers a detailed look at each and every character and setting.
The plot line of this book was also very interesting. Ray Bradbury takes the readers into a very dark and ignorant world, but shows how there is a glimmer of light and hope.
I would recommend this book to anyone who seeks a good read. Any reader that likes to read a book with twists and turns will love this novel. This book will also build the reader's vocabulary with its intelligent sentence structure.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 is the most famous book by Ray Bradbury. It details a world where books are feared, scholars are shunned, and knowledge is hunted down and erased. In the midst of this world is the story of a fireman named Guy Montag, and the conflicts he faces. As a fireman, Guy Montag's job is to "keep the peace" in society by burning books. Montag learns that the world is not what it seems, and that the life society is led to live is wrong and without thought. Montag separates from his wife, who is a perfect citizen in the world of Fahrenheit 451; she believes whatever the government wants her to believe. She panics when Montag reveals his stash of books, and submits an alarm against him. Montag also meets Professor Faber, an elderly man hiding his vast knowledge in his house, always fearing the authorities. Faber schemes with Montag to overthrow the tyranny of the firemen, but eventually leaves the city to escape. Montag is also forced to flee after police and firemen receive the alarm from Guy's wife.
I was hooked on this novel because of the nebulous way the story was weaved. As the reader, you don't know the extent of the madness until near the end. Also, a lot of the dialogue is spoken inside the protagonist's head; as the reader you follow his trails of thought, and gain an insight on his reasoning. An example of these "thought trails", "Montag sat up. Let's get out of here. Come on, get up, get up, you can't just sit! But he was still crying and that had to be finished. It was going away now. He hadn't wanted to kill anyone, not even Beatty. His flesh gripped him and shrank as if it had been plunged into acid. He gagged. He saw Beatty, a torch, not moving, fluttering out on the grass...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh God, sorry..." (pg. 123) Fahrenheit 451 mostly tells the story through feelings and emotions, not by explaining, word by word, what happened. For example, "They toil not--- 'Denham's---' Consider the lilies of the field, shut up, shut up. 'Detrifrice!' He tore the book open and flicked the pages and felt of them as if he were blind, he picked at the shape of the individual letters, not blinking. 'Denham's. Spelled: D-E-N----' They toil not, neither do they...' A fierce whisper of hot sand through empty sieve. 'Denham's does it!' Consider the lilies, the lilies, the lilies... 'Denham's dental detergent.' 'Shut up, shut up, shut up!'" (pg. 78-79) The end of the book is not a solid, but rather an open, finish. As the reader, you expect another page, another chapter, or a sequel, but there isn't one. "Montag felt the slow stir of words, the slow simmer. And when it came his turn, what could he say, what could he off on a day like this, to make the trip a little easier? To everything there is a season. Yes. A time to break down, and a time to build up. Yes. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak. Yes, all that. But what else. What else? Something, something..."
