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.

That being said, just talking about the actual reading experience, I was a little disappointed. It feels like a big opportunity was missed by starting at the point where the main character has a change of heart instead of establishing his character before the change. It made it difficult to connect or feel anything for him. I know lots of emotions are taken out because of the environment, but even the characters that were fighting felt flat and didn't elicit the emotions I was expecting.
Overall, one I think is important and a must read for its lessons and societal impact. But not as captivating as it could have been just as a story.

I finally sat down to read this book. Wow, book banning and censorship hit hard anyway, but the way in which Fahrenheit 451 covers it was astonishing 😳
3.5 out of 5 stars for me on this one. I find classics a little bit hard to contend with, but this one was well-written and so CURRENT! Thank you ✨
