This was a pretty interesting and good read. I never read books like these, but it was worth the time. The perspective shared was important and I think it's good this book is being taught at some schools. Banning it is simply political.

Un muy buen libro, muy interesante y revelador. Si ya me gustaban los libros, ahora que he comprendido la importancia de las historias y el saber, mucho más.
A book about how people are losing their critical thinking abilities due to government censorship and the banning of books? Sign me up. Fahrenheit 451 was a wonderful read and unsettlingly relatable to what’s happening today.
In our world, people’s attention spans are shrinking, and their ability to think critically is eroding under the flood of fast, shallow information and constant entertainment think TikTok videos and endless scrolling. Bradbury’s world felt eerily familiar.
One of the things I loved most is how the author sets the story in a timeless, unspecified period. It’s not tied to any one era, which makes it feel like this could happen anytime and maybe already is.
I’ll admit, this wasn’t the easiest read for me. Bradbury uses a lot of symbolism, and he expects the reader to work for the meaning rather than handing it over directly. As a non native English speaker, that made it a bit more challenging, but it was worth the effort.
Overall, this book is a powerful, thought-provoking classic that feels just as urgent today as when it was first written
