Guy Montag is a fireman. A fireman's job is to burn books, they don't question why they just do. When he meets Clarisse a girl who sees everything in a different life he begins to question everything he knows.
Ray Bradbury has a way of writing in such a way that you can visualize each description. This book is a bit haunting as some of the reasons behind each action are stuff we are seeing now. Great book.

“The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.”
Ray Bradbury touches life often, & he does so in a way I adore.

I know it's a classic, but I found this book moralistic and preachy.

Not only is this book a dystopian world, it’s a whole nightmare and kept me on the edge of my seat, the writing style is simple, yet considering the shortness of the book, the story is quite haunting and it’s a good reason behind why it’s considered a timeless classic! The ending however was confusing and unsatisfactory.
