“The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.”

This book was really interesting! I love the commentary on what books mean for us (both literally and figuratively) and what censorship of books can do to a society. I also really loved the concept of how they were

firemen that burned books, instead of saving people from fires. The ending was also wild, and it was powerful; Montag left his old life behind to do something that would eventually change the world. Seeing him change throughout this book was really interesting to read about.

I can see why this book is a timeless classic, because there were some really great lines and themes here about books.
