Fahrenheit 451
“Fahrenheit 451” By Ray Bradbury
My rating: 4/5
An incredibly easy and enjoyable read, one which highlights some very relevant points on the state of literature, and how culture is influenced by the media and televised culture. The development of the main character, Guy Montag, is entirely predictable yet necessary and memorable, while his interaction with those around him is less obvious and more intruiging. In particular the effect that Guy’s neighbour Clarisse has on his psyche is fantastic, and though the actual dialogue between the two characters is extremely fun, the consequences of these conversations are at times melancholy yet wholy engaging. The short length of this book makes it easy to recommend; it is great entertainment, nothing to be daunted by although offering up some excellent (albeit quite sad) obervations on modern life.

Not entirely related: This is the book that made me want to start reading more. It introduced me to science fiction, which is now probably my favorite genre.
