Watch out! Fahrenheit 451 is starting fires in
the hearts of students everywhere. This
red-hot science fiction novel will change your entire perspective about today’s
modern world and society. This
futuristic novel is mainly about a fireman named Guy Montag. The only dilemma is that in his world,
firemen don’t put out fires; they start them.
Reading is forbidden and the dictator-like government thrives off of the
ignorance of its citizens. To enforce
this crazy law, firemen burn every book they find. As if that isn’t enough, it’s not just the
book that gets burned; the whole house goes up in an incinerating blaze. Montag enjoyed his job until a young girl
changes his entire view on life.
I picked up this novel intending
for a more complicated read. Although there is a lot that happens rapidly and
it can be confusing at times, this novel is a classic and is a very enjoyable
to read. The metaphors and literary
devices create suspense and keep you turning the pages. I really recommend this book to anyone who is
looking for classic literature and a more complicated read. I hope you read and enjoy Fahrenheit 451.
