So I read this book as well. Honestly, I liked the whole concept of the story. It’s basically about a fireman who’s job is to burn books. In this time period that is expressed in the book, it is a future-like setting in an unknown American city. Firemen’s job is to burn books. Books are banned in this society.

This book was published in the 1950s, when the war barely ended. The author, Ray Bradbury, portrays society through the plot and through the characters in the book. Fahrenheit 451 never thoroughly explains why things are the way they are in the story, but Bradbury expresses his opinion on things through the character’s dialogue.

Basically this book is full irony and knowledge versus ignorance. It is a great example of censorship and defiance.

If you liked the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins and the Immortals series by Alyson Noel and you are feening for a book that contains rich sarcasm in character’s dialogue with a pinch of sexiness and a more subtle plot, I recommend this book.

I’m not sure if I’m interested in finishing the series and starting the prequel series “The Infernal Devices”.

Books, books, books. I love books.
