Incredibly influential, I think many of the concepts explored in Fahrenheit 451 are now taken for granted in the public consciousness. I had a vague idea of what the book was about going into it, but there was far more to the story than I expected, and the plot surprised me despite its age.
But over and above the ideas, the dystopia Bradbury brings to life, I found the energy with which Montag’s story is conveyed is incredibly compelling. I loved the writing style, although it might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

This book was on my TBR for a very long time before I decided to read it. This book was on my TBR for a very long time before I decided to read it.

I love this dystopian world created by Ray Bradbury: What if owning books, or read them, was illegal? I cannot even think about that. Man, my house would be burned down in two seconds... How can a book written in 1953 describe the world today? The “infinite scroll” society we live in today is not much different from the one Bradbury writes about.

I don't think this is the last time I will read this book.

If you like dystopians, 1984, or books about books it's definitely worth reading. And it's 190 pages, read it! 👍🏻
