I enjoyed this a little less than other books like it (e.g. 1984, Brave New World) as the messaging was a bit heavy handed and boomery.

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."
