A review by bj66rk
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

reflective fast-paced

3.0

"the other men helped, and montag helped, and there, in the wilderness, the men all moved their hands, putting out the fire together."

— i was definitely pulled into the climax but other than that this book was mediocre for me!! i get the whole oh burning books censorship premise but it was so blatant that at times it just felt corny. i feel that today theres probably so many full length novels that tackle this same idea of anti censorship and do it better. i didnt feel emotionally tied to the story because nothing was expanded upon, not even montag as the main protagonist!! without explanation its a little hard to follow in your head.

idk, so many people told me this was one of their favorite books but it was meh. i didnt hate it and was intruiging to keep reading out of interest and to knock another classic off my list. i also wished clarisse was there more bc she was literally me. im seventeen and im crazy!!!!!!
