It’s a classic for a reason. I just read it a second time (the first time wasn’t by choice), and I’ll never get over how good the world-building and descriptions were. Definitely a book everyone should read.

This book is a very interesting representation of censorship that parallels attitudes and actions seen during the Nazi book burnings

it was good, short and easy and yes in its context it was impactful and memorable 
(but from a literary perspective i didn’t find it groundbreaking oops) 
still a very enjoyable read, with good quotes for my history classes

Wow! This book really surprised me. When I first read this book sometime in upper elementary or middle school, I didn't really understand it for what it was. I couldn't see through a lot of the flowery language and metaphors (a warning for those who struggle with this). However, now that I'm a bit older, I can appreciate it for all that it is.

It's ironic that this book about banning and burning books is a banned book itself, but I bet the reasons why are because of the use of profanity and the

ripping out of pages of the Bible by Montag

.

I would recommend this to pretty much anyone as long as they are mature.
