Description
The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. Over 1 million copies sold in the UK. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic novel of a post-literate future, 'Fahrenheit 451' stands alongside Orwell's '1984' and Huxley's 'Brave New World' as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which over fifty years from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.

Beautifully written.
When it comes to dystopian fiction, I will say I still prefer 1984 by George Orwell, but this is a review for this book.
Its not a very extensive book, an average reader could probably wrap it up in a few hours.
For me the best part in this book was when the author spoke about the importance and beauty of books. I have never read more beautiful words that describe what power words and imagination have.
The author at the time was pretty taken by what the TV will turn the world into. In th...

A great book from a great mind...
Ray Bradbury's short stories are some of the best I have ever read. They are creepy but are a great way to look into the evolution of the classical american short story form that has revolutionised literature as we know it today. It took me a while to get around to reading it but I finally gave Farenheit 451 a shot and by the time I completed it I was glad I had done so.

Wonderful
One of the best dystopian novels of all time. As you flip through the pages, you will realise that Mr. Bradbury was prescient , and many of the gadgets he has described have come into existence in the 21st Century. Apart from the gadgets, what is really scary is that some of the situations that he has described are not very far from today's reality ....

Questions and Answers
Q:Will it be a good one for a starter who starts reading books
A:If you are a beginner, better would be to start with The little prince. Stories by Ruskin Bond will also be a good option. Happy reading.
