Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation
by Ray Bradbury
How very ironic to find a graphic novel adaptation of this book, after all, Bradbury's characters rail against the 'dumbing down' of literature, and comic books. But this edition has been given his blessing, and a Bradbury introduction. The introduction is worth the price of the book I believe. He talks so eloquently about his writing style.
But the book! Oh, the words and the images blend into a new story. A story that's tighter, more suspenseful, and probably more accessible, to students. The mechanical hound is here...with the needle protruding from his jaws. The 'walls" and the family are here. And Montag is here. I had forgotten (or the author changed it) that the book ends with words from Revelations.
So, if you could only save ONE book, by metaphorically becoming that book...what book would you save from destruction? I hope someone saves this one!
