Fahrenheit 451

by Ray Bradbury

Random House Publishing Group | August 12, 1987 | Mass Market Paperbound

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!

Want to read again

I read this book about 12 years ago in high school and am buying it to read again. A story about the world coming to a point where nobody is an individual, just a number and it is interesting to see the world coming to that point. Out of all the books I have read, this is one that always comes to my mind as a favorite. Would strongly recommend.
