It was a fairly good read with some nice descriptions, I think it’s overhyped when people say it predicted modern life etc. Basically it boils down to TV bad, book good. Not a bad message per say, but also one which was oversimplified and was literally Mike Teevee’s backstory.

Initially a mildly confusing slog, the final part greatly improves the book by adding thrills and imparting impactful wisdom. Disturbingly accurate in its vision of the future, there are various parallels to be found between Montag's world and the present. I do need to reread and analyze some of texts and details to increase understanding, however. Though I had very low expectations, it is understandable why this book is considered a "classic."
