Fahrenheit 451

Today I wanted to do a review on a book that I just finished~Fahrenheit 451~ It was written by Ray Bradbury and was published in 1953 by Ballentine Books. It does contain adult language but I must say that it is an Adult Fiction book not Young Adult or Juvenile, and if you want I am pretty sure that you could find a censored version if necessary.

Summary,
The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning, along with the houses in which they were hidden. 


Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires. And he enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he has never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames... never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid. Then Guy met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think. And Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do...


 The plot of this book is AMAZING, sometimes strange but never too confusing.
I can't get over how much I love this book, and I hope you appreciate it as much as I do!
