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.

dark reflective tense medium-paced

3.0

definitely ahead of its time, liked bradbury’s writing style and very cool concept however would’ve liked to have a bit more plot rather than so many monologues

eg it would have been interesting to follow montag from the first books he steals and watch him spiral stealing more and becoming more disillusioned with the firemen and book burning laws

very much interested in reading bradbury’s short story collection “a pleasure to burn” featuring short stories set in the farenheit 451 universe
