If you like dystopians, 1984, or books about books it's definitely worth reading. And it's 190 pages, read it! đŸ‘đŸ»

It's a very quotable book, but I do find it lacks nuance sometimes.

Great premise, but this didn't age well. There's a lot of ways this can be better. But I honestly love the drama that's why it still 3 stars. Thank you, RayđŸ”„đŸš’đŸ‘šâ€đŸš’đŸ“š

Omia ajatuksia ja tuntemuksia oli hankalaa summata yhteen tÀmÀn kirjan lukemisen jÀlkeen. Luulen, ettÀ se pitÀÀkö tÀstÀ kirjasta vai ei, riippuu paljon siitÀ mitÀ asioita kirjassa arvostaa.

Fahrenheit 451 on dystooppinen novelli tulevaisuudesta, missĂ€ kirjat on kielletty ja ihmiset pidetÀÀn tyytyvĂ€isenĂ€ viihteen avulla. Sodat ovat normaaleja ja ihmiset tekevĂ€t itsemurhia, mutta kukaan ei pysĂ€hdy miettimÀÀn ovatko he onnellisia. PÀÀhenkilö Guy Montag kuuluu palomiehiin, joiden tehtĂ€vĂ€ on etsiĂ€ ja rankaista rikollisia: ihmisiĂ€, joiden hallussa on kirjoja. Kirjat, sekĂ€ niitĂ€ hallussa pitĂ€neen ihmisen talo poltetaan. Montag pitÀÀ työstÀÀn, kunnes erÀÀnĂ€ pĂ€ivĂ€nĂ€ nuori tyttö kysyy hĂ€neltĂ€ onko hĂ€n onnellinen. 

On suorastaan hĂ€mmĂ€styttĂ€vÀÀ miten paljon kirjan yhteiskunta muistuttaa maapallon nykytilaa: aivoja turruttavaa viihdettĂ€, mekaanisia robottikoiria valvomassa lainrikkojia, kirjojen kieltĂ€mistĂ€. Kuitenkin on sanottava, ettĂ€ kirjan sanoma on vaikuttavampi kuin toteutus. Jos pidĂ€t syvĂ€luotaavista hahmojen ja maailman kuvauksesta, saatat pettyĂ€ tĂ€mmĂ€n kirjan proosaan. TĂ€ytyy kuitenkin miettiĂ€, onko tĂ€mĂ€ tarkoituksella: onko esimerkiksi Montagin hahmon tarkoitus toimia kehyksinĂ€, joihin voimme asettaa itsemme? Kirjassa esitetÀÀn myös muutamia hyviĂ€ havaintoja esimerkiksi siitĂ€, mitĂ€ ihminen jĂ€ttÀÀ jĂ€lkeensĂ€ kuollessaan. 

Valitettavasti olen itse sellainen lukija, ettÀ kaipaan hahmoilta hieman enemmÀn syvyyttÀ. LisÀksi olisin toivonut vÀlillÀ hieman viipyilevÀmpÀÀ kerrontaa, etenkin kun esiteltiin tarinan kannalta tÀrkeitÀ konsepteja. Fahrenheit on kuitenkin nopealukuinen ja teemoiltaan tÀrkeÀ, joten suosittelen sitÀ kyllÀ lÀmpimÀsti kaikille.

TĂ€mĂ€n painoksen kansi on graafisesti miellyttĂ€vĂ€ ja kuvaava, ja selkĂ€myksen kuviointi on tehty muistuttamaan tulitikkulaatikon raapaisupintaa.
