Not the same as reading the novel but, as a comic book fan, this graphic novel is a fun way to revisit groundbreaking works like this one.

"It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten...to see things blackened and changed."
This was a great adaptation of the book: it had the same tone and message as the original novel. There were a few moments that it felt a bit disjointed, but if anything it added to the feelings of fear and discomfort that the story itself produces.
"Once books appealed to a few people here, there, everywhere. They could afford to be different. The world was roomy. But then the world got full of eyes and elbows and mouths. Quadruple population. Films and radios, magazines, books leveled down to a sort of pastepudding norm."
"Wasn't it this bright boy you selected for beatings and torture after hours? Of course it was. Not everyone was born equal, as the constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy."

I read the original Fahrenheit 451 in high school, and I appreciate that this graphic novel does not dumb down the themes, the dialogue, or the literary quotes found in the original book. Some graphic novel abridgments read more like children's books, but this adaptation felt incredibly similar to the original. I do feel that the graphic format is helpful for many learners. Every once in a while I found the layout a little disjointed or difficult to follow, but for the most part, I enjoyed reading this classic again in a new, engaging format.
