inspiring reflective tense fast-paced

Wow—this story is powerful and sad and coming true. I am always blown away by how an author can see foreshadowing almost a century before, and I was convicted by how little I read and how shallowly I think compared to what the literary depth of knowledge that our great grandfathers had.

I was bored, initially, as one is. I got really interested the last 60 pages. But this book is SO important. It talks about the overpowering voice of the majority, instant gratification, and the importance of books and knowledge. Ray Bradbury writes so poetically, but I didn't have a difficult reading experience.
