I started to read the novel for this book and could not finish it. Something about the way, Ray Bradbury wrote bothered me so much that I had to put the book down. So it was a good thing that I also borrowed this adaption from the library. I was able to finish it. It seems, then that the future that Mr. Bradbury was talking about in his book has come true, at least in respect to me. I couldn't read the novel but I could the shortened adaption. In my defence, could I just say that I did want to read the story but the prose drove me away. The lyrical phrases, the philosophical ramblings- I just couldn't continue. The graphic novel was more concise but the pictures made it hard to follow in some parts. Another reason why I didn't want to read the story may have been that I just didn't find it all that interesting. Who knows? Well, I liked it well enough, so three stars.

This was a really interesting graphic novel adaptation and personally, the art style is not one that I preferred but it's still commendable.
This is easier to digest and it highlights the importance of books, tackles conformity and deviance, and individuality.

This was a great way to read Fahrenheit 451 in a different and unique way. I believe that the original book is much better and there is more to the storyline but this graphic novel reminded me of the most important points overall.

I have not read the original book yet - it's been on my to-read list for awhile but I struggle to read "classics" so when I saw the graphic novel at the library I figured I'd check it out and see if it pushes me towards the book more. I think when I read it in the future, it'll be a bit easier for me to understand since I've had the visual aid to go along with the storyline. I absolutely am interested in the content however, so after reading this I do still intend on reading the original book.
