This book was wonderful. The writing style is so beautiful, and the message is really important. If you don't like slower books, I may not recommend it, but Fahrenheit 451 is so well written that maybe it's pacing doesn't matter in the end.
Some great quotes:
- "Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore." (Pg 82)
- "You sound so very old." "Sometimes I'm ancient. I'm afriad of children my own age." (27)
- "He stood breathing, and the more he breathed the land in, the more he was filled up with all the details of the land. He was not empty." (138)

It was a fairly good read with some nice descriptions, I think it’s overhyped when people say it predicted modern life etc. Basically it boils down to TV bad, book good. Not a bad message per say, but also one which was oversimplified and was literally Mike Teevee’s backstory.
