Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
4.5
challenging dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real? - Ray Bradbury

The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity. - W.B. Yeats

Much has already been said about Fahrenheit 451, but it lives up to the hype.

The writing is electric — intense, poetic, visceral — and the message is as urgent now as ever. It’s not just about censorship or book burning, but about distraction, apathy, disconnection, and a society that chooses comfort over truth. Replace TV with phones/social media, and this is basically set in 2025.

A classic for a reason.
