Fahrenheit 451

Advantages: Entertaining
Disadvantages: None

...premise of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. In a world that has gone mad, it centres on the war between censorship and freedom of thought. The protagonist, Guy Montag is the local firefighter, and he lives in an isolated society, where the totalitarian Government have tried to control independent thinking, by banning books.

The Government believe that people should be happy and carefree, and that books have a bad effect on them, by giving ...
...assorted books, poems and plays. Fahrenheit 451 was originally published in 1950 as a short story, and was entitled, 'The Fireman'. It tells a cautionary tale of people so wrapped up in their wall to wall TV's, that they don't notice or care about issues happening for real, like poverty and warfare. None of 'that sort of thing' matters to these TV junkies, who just want more and more trivial, meaningless things to watch, in their perfect little cocoon ... more

Advantages: Please read the op
Disadvantages: Really, read the op, but there isn't any disadvantage

...by all... WHAT IS FAHRENHEIT 451 ? *** SUMMARY: Before talking about the book, I will just explain the title. Actually 451°F is the temperature when paper begins to burn. Why the title ? Read my little summary. In an unfortunately too-near future (no date is given by Bradbury, that avoids the problems of Orwell's "1984" for example), a fireman named Guy Montag is happy to do his job. The only hitch is that Bradbury's firemen don't fight against ...
...they don't have to extinguish the fires, but on the contrary their jobs consist in burning all the books they hear about. Montag is married with Mildred (does her name mean that she can't take a decision all by herself ?), a woman who spends her time watching television walls. Two events will change his life forever. First, Guy meets Clarisse, a 17-year girl full of life. She doesn't go to school as the other teenagers. Instead, she loves wandering ...

Fire Starter

Advantages: Good plot with interesting ideas behind it
Disadvantages: The story has a sad, hopeless feel to it.

Fahrenheit 451 is a look into a future where books are condemned as dangerous and are therefore burnt. Montag is the central character in the book and is a fireman, but not in the sense we understand. Montag is paid to burn books not to stop fires, there is no need to stop house fires now anyway as all houses are fireproof. Even after you have finished reading the book, Bradbury's horrifying version of the future hovers in the mind, to be contemplated ...
...end Montag has lost his family and has to face the idea that the job he has been doing all his life was destroying the only thing he now lives for. Fahrenheit 451 is an interesting book, as much for the ideas behind it, as the story its self. ...

I'm surprised no one else has written an opinion

Advantages: Great plot
Disadvantages: none

Farenheit 451 is one of the seminal books on state censorship and the creation of an artificial utopia. It ranks alongside Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World. Farenheit 451 is about Guy Montag, a fireman - but not in any conventional sense of the word. In this bleak future, firemen are employed not to put out fires (all the houses are now fire-proof), but instead to start fires... to burn books. Books are evil. They spread malcontentment. ...
...- people can be spoon fed their opinions, their emotions. Pleasure is immediate, thought is a waste of time. When Montag starts to find that he wants to read books he is scared. He is scared about the mechanical hound that will chase him down. He is scared that his boss Captain Beatty will come around and burn his house like he has done to others. It is a parable of state domination and the ultimate in censorship, and is a warning to us all about ...

Burn baby burn (again!)

Advantages: An absolute classic and comment on the world today.
Disadvantages: None

...and in particular that book. Fahrenheit 451, is a book about books, a book about the burning of books. But behind it there is much more than that, as I saw in the book when I re-read it as an adult, and was even more blown away by it than when I first read it as a child. A story full of social commentary about modern society, a prediction of a future in which we now live. Up there with 1984 and Brave New World this is a book that predicted our world ...
...at which book paper burns, and in the story Montag the central character is fireman whose job it is to burn books. This is a world were all reading material is banned, and free thinking is against the will of the state. People are kept in line with state supplied drugs and huge screen TV’s in their homes (sound familiar yet?!) There is also the Hound, the robotic sniff dog that hunts down books and their owners. The Hound symbolises the world around ...

A living, breathing, highly decorated storybook

Advantages: Imaginative, rich and colourful short stories
Disadvantages: A few stories are outdated and implausible

Out of the plethora of science-fiction / fantasy writers, there is one author whose name immediately springs to mind. Ray Bradbury! Renowned for his works such as Fahrenheit 451, the Martian Chronicles and the Ray Bradbury Theatre, Bradbury has over five hundred published works to his name easily adapting his innovative style to the differing genres of short stories, novels, plays, screenplays, television scripts, and poetry. Bradbury though has always seemed to favour the short-story often presenting them within his trademark framing device. The Illustrated Man is a perfect example of he achieves this effect. The frame is the illustrated man himself - tattooed from his neck to his waist - a vibrant living storybook. Each of the little tattoo illustrations is a "little story". Eighteen illustrations, eighteen stories just ...
