Weird. Though provoking. Important. Loved the audiobook narrated by Tim Robbins. A classic for a reason.

A very important book about censorship, brainwashing, controlled information sharing, book bans, and the importance of organized community to fight state-sponsored censorship.
It's conceptually a key story in literary history, but in terms of pure writing quality, storytelling, and plot, it's super lackluster. The pacing is totally off, and it feels like there are a handful of filler characters that don't do much. The part about Montag freaking out about his relationship with his wife and his interactions with his neighbors' wives was quite slow, repetitive, and annoying.
The part about thewoman burning herself alive with her books in protest of the firefighter's book burning practices was the most impactful and best executed part of the story. Commentary about society's attention span decrease and tech advances resulting in a more impatient/angry society was quite accurate, well integrated, and used to advance the plot logically.
The last 30% of the book was super slow, and it took me forever to get through even though the story is only 250 pages total.
Overall, this is an important book to read, but is not super fun to read or paced well.
