Would I recommend this book to people? Yes. It addresses the importance of individuality of thought, differing opinions and forming the values that define who we are. Without it? We're not at all different, just echoing whatever is force fed into us by those in power. It's an important book on censorship, brainwashing and controlling information that the people consume. 

Now, is it a particularly enjoyable and engaging read? Ehhhh. I loved Clarisse's character the most, but wellll yeah. The last part of the book was a bit harder to get through I will not lie, but it's a good read nonetheless. 


The best insights into the power of books are found in Fahrenheit 451. It also clearly illustrates the portrait of modern societies, making the implications unmistakably tangible

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