Fahrenheit 451 - Thoughts

So I am all done with Fahrenheit 451 and overall I thought it was a pretty good book. I really liked the main wow factor. Like how everything seemed so out of sync with our modern day. It must have really been tough to think of a world so messed up rather than a future that is better than today. Especially so long ago. If I was imagining the future I think that anything I imagine would be distinctly more enlightened than anyone s today not the opposite. Another cool thing about this book how warped society is. Between his wife overdosing and the kid trying to kill Guy experienced a lot of nut cases. How disconcerted do you have to be when you are a paramedic helping someone who overdosed and your cracking jokes while you pump their stomachs? This book really does raise a lot of questions about if our own society is headed down such a path. Parallels can already be drawn as every day people are becoming less and less caring about someone else's issues and problems. I was reading about the book online and I saw that a alternate ending had been made in to the movie that was produced. The ending of the story involved Guy finding the young girl who had made him first question his life. But he found her when he met up with all of the hobos. I think this is a much better ending than them walking in to radioactive debris. It also end the story in a much nicer family friendly way. Though the story would have been a whole lets less dramatic if it had ended that way rather than it's original ending which was pretty good I guess. So overall I thought it was a very good book and I think that if anyone asked me whether or not they should read it I would definitely tell them to read it.
