Incredibly influential, I think many of the concepts explored in Fahrenheit 451 are now taken for granted in the public consciousness. I had a vague idea of what the book was about going into it, but there was far more to the story than I expected, and the plot surprised me despite its age.
But over and above the ideas, the dystopia Bradbury brings to life, I found the energy with which Montag’s story is conveyed is incredibly compelling. I loved the writing style, although it might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
