A review by kuporeads
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
4.0
It still boggles my mind that this book wasn't in my high school English curriculum.
Like every other reader fanatic who can't get more reading time, this book has always been on my "classics-you-MUST-read" list. Luckily for me, my boyfriend got this (and many more books yay) for me for Christmas.
I enjoyed this book a lot. Not sure if 'enjoy' is the right term since it's about a dystopian world where thinking and books are evil and firemen start fires instead of preventing them. I loved (and was disturbed) at how this book is in context with today with all the smart phones, and wearables our society has access to.
And the introduction by Neil Gaiman? Perfect.
