A review by batrock
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Like 1984, assigning a rating to Fahrenheit 451 is meaningless. There’s a lot of stuff in here that is still relevant today, and one of its greatest strengths is that it’s overtly science fiction but no one seems to notice.
Some of it is fleshless by today’s standards, the female characters are either whisked away or are completely unhelpful, and at times Bradbury himself seems somewhat reactionary.
Still, there’s a reason that people come back to Fahrenheit 451, and it’s as simple as this: modern life is rubbish.
