I could never have guessed just the turns this book would take. In hindsight, it all makes so much sense. 

The book starts off following a normal day for Montag, a fireman who burns books. After a (chance?) encounter, the reader follows Montag as he starts to navigate his newly found reality.

Absolutely stunningly written.

Bradbury clearly has a beautiful writing style. The beginning of this book is breathtaking—I wish Clarisse had appeared more often throughout the rest of the book. Despite the book being obviously dated, I do think some aspects of his dystopian world were surprisingly parallel to our present. For some people to see that, of course, they’d need to think about it critically, something that can be lacking in our insular world (Bradbury definitely got that one right).
