This is an amazing book that I read for Language Arts. It has a lot of important topics like Censorship, Brainwashing, what people can do with knowledge, etc. And it’s set in a world where everyone is kinda disconnected from each other and everything in general. I really love the characters and reading about their struggles. There’s so much to say about this book! 😁

This book was wonderful. The writing style is so beautiful, and the message is really important. If you don't like slower books, I may not recommend it, but Fahrenheit 451 is so well written that maybe it's pacing doesn't matter in the end.
Some great quotes: 
- "Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore." (Pg 82)
- "You sound so very old." "Sometimes I'm ancient. I'm afriad of children my own age." (27)
- "He stood breathing, and the more he breathed the land in, the more he was filled up with all the details of the land. He was not empty." (138)
