sasstronaut 's review for:

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
3.0

This is a book I'd heard so much about, but never got to myself.

Knowing what to expect made it less mindblowing for me than others seem to consider. I do however see how it seemed so at the time. We already can see some similar attitudes developing around the immense amount of tech and information available.

I understand and like the concept, and enjoyed his writing as I always do, but it was so realistic to be thought provoking and frightening.

Very different from his other works. Not a story to sit back and enjoy, but definitely an important and key read for our culture.
