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.

A classic that everyone should read, depicting why censorship should be allowed. However the lack of clear timeline and the pace of the book does make it difficult to concentrate on and fully enjoy.
