"Stuff your eyes with wonder...live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic that any dream made or paid for in factories.”
I really enjoyed Fahrenheit 451 and I couldn't put it down at times - I was left wanting more!
It is not just a dystopia about book burnings and censorship but it provides a touching portrayal of friendship, of questioning reality and of the perseverance of people. The protagonist's journey through crisis and his character development is written about in a way which makes you feel as though you are walking in his shoes.
