2.5 stars
I can only come up with a summary because I saw the movie a few
years ago. Montag is a fireman, but in this time/place, firemen
aren't there to put out fires; they are there to start them,
specifically to start a fire to burn books. Reading is illegal. One
day, Montag meets a teenager and, in talking to her, he begins to
question what he's doing.
I listened to the audio, and that may - at least partially - be why
I didn't like it. It was read by Bradbury himself, and
unfortunately, he seems to mumble a bit. I don't think that was
entirely why I wasn't interested, but it didn't help. I did find
myself paying more attention to the parts in the book I remember
from the movie, mostly the beginning and the end. But, I was kind
of bored by most of it, and got distracted easily. I wasn't
interested enough to back up and listen again for what I'd missed.
The bonus to the audio, though, was the interview with Bradbury at
the end. The book (at least the audio), I'd give only 2 stars, but
I did find the interview quite interesting and I enjoyed that. I
would have given that part 3.5 stars. However, weighing the two
together along with the fact that the book, of course, comprised
much more of the content than the interview, I can only give this
2.5 stars.
