Although I was technically forced to read this book, I LOVED it. This book gets you really thinking: What would happen in technology took over? What would happen if death could be reversed and emotions controlled? I found the main themes of the book, though easily found controversial, very intriguing. In a way, the book was a small sort of of last shout out to books before our age of technology takes over. One of the things that I fear most is books becoming like vinyls or cassettes or VHS: endangered beyond hope. Sure, people listen to vinyls still (my friend Max does), and I wish my record player worked, but who do you know who owns cassettes or VHS still and is always watching them?
This book had a funny way of showing the difficulties that would come with controlled literature. Ray Bradbury has an amazing way of bringing up the topic of corrupt government through a prepossessing man named Montag. I loved the mood and setting of the book, and the atmosphere it created. Mystery and curiosity swirling together, blending and breaking. Tension will build within you as you read, even if it isn't as suspenseful as Maximum Ride by James Patterson.
BTW This is part of a project my sister and I are working on, where we both review stuffs. Every once in a while we'll review the same thing.

I commented first! Yeah!! Prize please. But I loved Farenheit 451, but the film was simply awful!
