Montag burns books. Every fireman burns books. Books are not allowed. Thinking for yourself is not allowed. Having time to think is not allowed!

Montag meets Clarisse, a girl that is different from everyone else. She's even considered a danger to society, all because she stops to look and admire the beauty of the world, and has time to think. Clarisse gets Montag thinking, and before he knows it, he's one of the dangers to society.

This book was really good. It's so different and crazy! I definitely recommend reading it.

A world without books. A world without the privilege of reading. That is MontagÂ´s world. A fireman who causes fires to burn books, because they are forbidden.
Fahrenheit 451 is a great book, a science fiction story, perfectly created by Bradbury, this books will make you think, Woul you survive in a world like that one??? I know I wouldnt.
Is the second time I read it, and I enjoyed even more. You must read it!!

Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" is one of the most influential books of our time. Ray Bradbury predicts a controlled society, where everyone simply just wants to be happy. In this society, books are illegal, and fireman are hired to burn these banned books. The main character, Guy Montag, is one of these firemen. He starts with books being the culprit, but as the book goes on he realizes that there is a need for reform in the society. His point of view changes when he meets a 17 year-old girl, Clarrise. Clarrise helps Montag open his eyes and realize the meaning of books. He realizes that it is time for a change, and that is just what he will do.

The book has great suspense and is very engrossing. The book shows us the fate of censorship. That we must start thinking and talking about things that matter, so that we can remember them for generations to come. That we must constantly battle with what is right and what is wrong. The book is great because it is realistic of something that could happen in the future. It is a book the everyone should read and discuss. I recommend this book to anyone up for an enlightening read that will impact the way they think about books forever. Someone that likes a little bit of suspense and mystery. If you like a book that keeps you turning the pages and that will draw you in, I recommend you read this book. You will not regret it!
