Fahrenheit 451

     In the dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, main character Guy Montag is a firefighter. However, in this society, being a firefighter doesn't mean you stop fires; in this society you start them. Montag's job is to burn books and the house they were found in. However, this changes once he meets soon to be 17 year old Clarisse. However, everything gets crazy when he finds his wife unconscious on the bedroom floor. The next day at work he has a small run in with something called a hound and he burns down a lady and her house. What happens to Montag next? Read the book to find out.
     Overall, the book was okay. The plot is really good. Unfortunately, I can't tell you much about it as that would spoil some major events and turning points. The only turn away is it is an older book, hence some language used is more complex, and therefore more difficult to understand. Aside from that, it is a good read if you want a good dystopian book to sit down with.
