I'm not the classic type of girl, but this did have dystopian elements (which I like) and sci-fi elements (not a big fan). I liked that it showed the reality of this world. Even though I know that it was written in the 60s (correct me if I'm wrong), Ray truly predicted the future. Okay, not the actual book burning thing, but the thing that people are so manipulated these days, they listen to the government and the news only, but the government controls the news. Yk? People try to make books seem bad and dumb even though they are the complete opposite. Press censorship is a real issue even nowadays, and I'm glad that Ray potraided it in this cool way. Aside from that, I loved how confusing this book was. It's hard to explain, but it was so interesting.
