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.

Went into this book thinking I would despise it, since I thought it was just anti-technology, though it was honestly perfectly fine. Bradbury has interesting insights on society as a whole, and some of these insights ring true (others annoyed me as being overexaggerated, but nonetheless).

That being said, the symbolism is rather on-the-nose (there are some parts where you can't tell what's real and what the protagonist is just imagining) and the imagery is intense, but I was unbothered by that. I still think it's done well and liked it a decent amount, even though I had to read it for an English assignment haha. Also super short; you can read it in a dedicated 2 hours. Not the worst school book I've had to read!
