A review by pavanis93
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
5.0
"We'll just start walking today and see the world and the way the world walks around and talks, the way it really looks. I want to see everything now. And while none of it will be me when it goes in, after a while it'll all gather together inside and it'll be me."
----- Such amazingly written lines! -----
This book is a whole new level of fiction, in my opinion. The title signifies the temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns. Absolutely loved the simplicity and smoothness in writing while at the same time crisply portraying all kinds of emotions involved in the story. It's a dystopian story about a country in which firemen set fires by burning all of people's books. They burn down houses and even people in their mission. It's a shocking situation that suppresses the freedom of expression and gaining knowledge out-rightly. This is a tale of one such fireman meeting a young girl one day and coming to the realization of how horrifying people and their affairs have become, and his yearning to escape it.
"I guess I'm everything they say I am, all right. I haven't any friends. That's supposed to prove I'm abnormal. But everyone I know is either shouting or dancing around like wild or beating up one another. Do you notice how people hurt each other nowadays?"
