This book is a classic, and it should be. The general premise and the themes Bradbury explores deserve to be talked about! However, the characters were dull, and part of the plot seemed silly to me. Then again, I read this in 2021, 70 years after it was written, so of course it’s not going to resonate the same way.

I was so intrigued. It has some 1984 vibes since <the main character is violent> and obviously, both are dystopias. But, I thought it was really interesting because one of the ideas/themes I took from the book is that the government becomes what the people let it become. Also, how society is focused on happiness, and technology and entertainment are rotting society.
