annamontana 's review for:

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
4.0
challenging dark inspiring tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Diverse cast of characters: No

I am amazed when an author can look into the future and see where life is leading them. Burning books not only to get rid of the narrative that we don't like but to get rid of all narratives. A society that doesn't read is easier to control. I read it as a cautionary tale and it had the desired effect on me of making me want to read more.
The style of writing is a bit uneven, or maybe manic is a better word. I think I would have struggled more if I had been reading but I listened to the audio and it worked well. I recommend the audio read by Tim Robbins.
