I feel so conflicted about this book after teaching it. This is my 3rd time, and while I can see how the students are grappling with the lack of a government, and how that could empower the story more, I also see the absolute detail and restraint Bradbury puts throughout this. Although the ending is fairly anti-climatic and unrealistic.
