It took me six years to finish this book. Part of that is my own fault and the nearly 8-year reading slump I was in. Though while I got through the first two sections within the first few weeks of starting to read this, I found the third section to lose some of the pacing that had hooked me, and this is where we began our more-than-half-a-decade stalemate. Despite this, I can absolutely see why this is a classic sci-fi novel, and I was particularly interested in Bradbury's technological clairvoyance.

This is one of my favourite books. Just like Guy Montag, it should make you stop and wonder/think about your surroundings.
