Description
Internationally acclaimed with more than 5 million copies in print, Fahrenheit 451 is Ray Bradbury′s classic novel of censorship and defiance, as resonant today as it was when it was first published nearly 50 years ago.Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires...The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning...along with the houses in which they were hidden.Guy Montag enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames...never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid.Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think...and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do!

I am aware of the importance of this book that's why I gave it three stars. However, I did not like the style of writing, I felt as if I was reading a book assigned at school. It may come from the translation I've read but nonetheless it made it hard for me to read.

I liked this book, though I read it awhile ago. I did notice that in the beginning he linked this book with a couple of his short stories, which I did like.
