A review by jennaaps
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
dark
reflective
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
4.0
Of course I’m gonna get on here and criticize a literary classic.
The kindle said I was less than 70% through the book before the story ended, so I can’t blame myself for expecting more. It’s a really fast story, and mostly happens internally to the main character.
There’s definitely a lot of value in it (I highlighted quite a few passages), but once again I am somewhat underwhelmed by a “classic.”
I think it’s just that my personal preference leans towards books with more concrete plot (and less dark). Still worth the read, though.
