Fahrenheit 451 - Final Thoughts

As the end of my blogging draws ever nearer I figured it would be a wonderful time to say the final thoughts I had as far as the book Fahrenheit 451 goes. In my own opinion I thought that Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury was a pretty sweet book. I really loved all of the plot, the settings, all the small details and I adored the character development. This was really my kind of book, a lot of information, some action and tons of cool stuff. I must say my favorite part had to be how everything was different than one would think it would be in the future. The technology was better, the living was better but... The people were worse and more oppressed than ever. It seems like society as a whole regressed backwards towards more primitive times. Another really cool fact was how bent on figuring it all out for him self that Guy Montag seemed to be. He really understood that be self aware you can not really ask people how to do it. You mostly have to do it and deal with your mistakes as you do it. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes to red. It is really a fantastic story that can appeal to all types of people old and young. Do not take my word for it, take the millions and millions of copies in print and how loved the book is around the world. Movies have been made about it, cultural references and much more have been spawned from this gem of a book. In closing I would just like to say that this is a great book and most likely my favorite book I have ever had to read for English summer reading and I am immensely glad that I chose this rather than any of the other options which I think would have definitely not been as good as this book.

  1. Thank you for your writing. It really helped me to understand this book better. I especially liked your observation that Guy had to learn how to be by figuring out what that meant for him.
