End of Fahrenheit 451

       Over our early spring break(except colder) I finished the book that was assigned to us back a couple weeks ago. It was called Fahrenheit 451. This book was about a man named Guy Montag. He was a fireman. In this book, firemen don't put out fires... they start them. These men are hired to find books of anyone that has any, and burn them because the books were illegal. Montag slowly becomes more and more curious as the book goes on ands starts taking books from the places he burns. He eventually gets caught, and has to burn his own house down. He runs away and finds sanctuary in a place where there are people like him...book lovers. 

        My overall rating of this book would be a 7/10. It was not bad for a book that was assigned at school. My favorite thing that Ray Bradbury did in this book was his accurate predictions of what would happen in the future. Another fireman says,"everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending." This surprised me because this book was written over 50 years ago, yet Bradbury was able to tell us what is happening in our lives right now. Everything is being shrunk down. Some of my least favorite things would be some of the boring scenes in the book. For example, there is a scene where Montag visits a friend and I don't think that  helped develop the book at all.  There were some scenes that if this wasn't a school book, I would have skipped. Also, this book lost a point because it was a school assignment. That makes everything worse. 

       I would reccomend this book to people that aren't reading for fun, but for a little more meaning, and for people that are patient enough to read boring books. If you are a kid that only reads to enjoy, or for action, don't read this. Overall it is a nice book, but not the kind I like and am used to.
