sinelit's review against another edition
5.0
distopyaları çok sevmeme rağmen az okuduğumu fark ettim bu kitabı bitirince. geç kaldığım bir kitap da oldu fahrenheit 451 aynı zamanda. on sene önce okusam da olurmuş, ama bu şimdi okumamdan bir şey eksiltti mi; tabi ki hayır. anlatacağı şeyi bu kadar sade, kısa, öz anlatması da kullandığı distopyanın isabetliliğine ek olarak kitabı daha da güzelleştiriyor.
sanırım türkçedeki eski çevirisi biraz sıkıntılıymış. ben ithaki'nin bilimkurgu klasikleri serisi için basılan dost körpe çevirisini aldım, bir iki cümle dışında sıkıntısı olmayan, gayet güzel bir çeviri. tavsiye ederim.
zamansız kitapları, distopyaları, kitap sevgisi satırlarından taşan yazarları okumayı çok seviyorum.

I expected some typical dystopian science fiction with some whining about those kids and their damn TVs--which this still is--but the prose is so beautiful that I don't even care. Holy shit.
vance_31's review against another edition
5.0
It was a pleasure to burn.
I've heard a lot of things about Fahrenheit 451. I found a copy at a used bookstore, a heavily-annotated one. I did not hesitate to buy it, and it was one of the best decisions I made as an avid reader.
Characters ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great ensemble. Each one of the characters is memorable.
Writing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Some say the writing isn't that good, and I have to disagree. Your opinion is wrong (kidding. to each their own). The writing was actually engaging and smooth. It doesn't have a hint of classic-book-tediousness(and maybe because it was written in the 50's, not in the 19th century). Bradbury's voice stands out.
Flow ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The pacing was really good. The story moved perfectly.
Ending ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic, fantastic ending! Perhaps my favorite part was when Montag followed the railroad tracks and met "people."
Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An almost perfect book. Definitely my favorite read this year so far. Everyone should read this at least once in their lives. And if you don't like this book, may I ask, what is wrong with you? Kidding. To each their own.
