Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury
I skipped this novel in high school and I completely regret it. This was an assigned reading in a banned books class I took at my local community college and glad I did so because it is everything I enjoy in a novel.
It was blatantly anti-establishment and pro educational reform, creating a preachy narrative. Although some of the technologies created in the novel seem strange, this was originally written in 1951 he seems to predicted our reliance on our technological advances and the invention of ear bud headphones.
This novel is criticizes human indifference and ignorance in an on-the-nose manner and is stuffed with an outrageous amount of symbolism.
Overall, I enjoyed the narrative's message which felt more like an action-SciFi movie than a piece of literature at times with its symbolism being in the reader's face.
