silverthane 's review for:
Ray Bradbury wrote his classic of dystopian sci-fi in 1953 but it hasn't aged a day; still an absolutely riveting and frightening portrayal of a bleak future where people aren't allowed to read books. This law is enforced by the 'Firemen' a faceless group of government agents who burn books with flamethrowers and kerosene hoses. Mayhem ensues when one of the firemen picks up a book at a burning house and takes it home to read...
This book is not the original novel but a graphic novel adaptation designed to entice young readers to classic and important literature and make no mistake; Fahrenheit 451 is an important book. This version is very impressive with some very good artwork and keeps enough of the book in it to retain the essence of the story. I can easily imagine a teenager getting through this novel and wanting to pick up the original. It's actually whet my appetite to read the original again.
This is well worth reading
