Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)
Nowadays firemen start fires. Fireman Guy Montag loves to rush to a fire and watch books burn up. Then he met a seventeen-year old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid, and a professor who told him of a future where people could think. And Guy Montag knew what he had to do....User Reviews (2) Login or create an account to write a review.
Ida thinks this book is Excellent.
This book was written about 50 years ago but could have been written yesterday. It's a look at what might happen should we stop thinking and start letting others decide what's best for us. It's the possibly outcome of a self-medicating, self-dumbing society... This book takes you there and shows you around.
Deepti thinks this book is Excellent.
This book is an example of censorship gone haywire. With present day political correctness & what have you, the premise of this book does not seem all that unbelievable....over-medicated, tv obsessed people who have no idea about the world outside.....a government hell bent on controlling thought by burning books.... If you liked George Orwell's 1984, definitely give this a try....
