It reminds me of that meme ‘You crazy girl, you crazy’ 😅

I finally sat down to read this book. Wow, book banning and censorship hit hard anyway, but the way in which Fahrenheit 451 covers it was astonishing 😳

3.5 out of 5 stars for me on this one. I find classics a little bit hard to contend with, but this one was well-written and so CURRENT! Thank you ✨

I feel so conflicted about this book after teaching it. This is my 3rd time, and while I can see how the students are grappling with the lack of a government, and how that could empower the story more, I also see the absolute detail and restraint Bradbury puts throughout this. Although the ending is fairly anti-climatic and unrealistic.

I absolutely adore this book and always will. I just finished it for the second time and it just amazed me all over again. It reads so quickly and draws you into this dystopian world, it‘s insanely addicting and most definitely one of my favorite books.
