i can’t believe i once considered this to be my favorite book of all time. sure, it’s iconic and, unfortunately, relevant to our reality as the years go by, but the story is as two-dimensional as its main character (i mean, the guy’s name is literally Guy… how much more boring can he get?) the world-building is close to nonexistent and by the end of it, there are only two things i know to be certain: 

1. firefighters burn books because they’re illegal
2. firefighters get cool mechanical dogs

Ray Bradbury, stick to short stories or you’ll end up lost in your narrative.
