1 | Quick 'nd Good | A quick read with a big font, and only 170 pages, yet it was so good.A terrific story of a fireman who doesn't fit in with the rest of the group and then goes a stray.If the book has multiple introductions, prefaces or whatever only read one, (preferably the longest one) otherwise its just repetitive, though somewhat i... | positive |
0 | All books begin with a premise... | ... and this one also ended there. Compared to Orwell's 1984 and similar works, this novel is teen romance. It light-heartedly bounds through what it likes to think is a dark future. With all respect to the esteemed Mr. Bradbury, it reads more like Futurama.Aldous Huxley and George Orwell both cover this subject in muc... | negative |
0 | Understanding | I believe this book to be completely and inutterably crazy. I dislike it because of its content. Honestly i have read a lot more interesting books. Slowly i start to understand it but barely. Choice of words is what i believe to not be good. I think the story would be and entirely different book if Ray Bradbury would h... | negative |
0 | Awful and boring | It was one of the most boring books i have ever read in my life.Why everyone in this society is so narrow-minded.Mildred is the most stupid woman i have ever read for and beatty is one of the biggest liar.So i think Bradbury was probably drunk while he was writing this book. | negative |
0 | A good idea gone horribly wrong! | At first I thought that Fahrenheit 451 sounded very interesting, and I was glad to see that my 10th grade teachers had assigned the reading of it. By page 3 of the novel, however, I knew this was not a book I would enjoy. While it's a frightening, though thought-provoking look at the way society could become, it was ex... | negative |
0 | How ironic - text to speech (tts) not enabled | How ironic that a book about limiting access to books is NOT text-to-speech enabled. By preventing access to TTS, the publisher has denied my blind husband the opportunity to read this book on his Kindle through text-to-speech as he wants to do. He will not buy audio books so the publisher makes no sale at all. He boug... | negative |
0 | This is not a good or bad book, but its O.K | I don't like this book very much. This is the most boring book I have ever read. I will not recommend this book to my friends because it's boring. "Fahrenheit 451" is about Guy Montag, a fireman, who starts fire but does not putout fires. In this society, the fireman has to set up fires and burn the books. Usually when... | negative |
0 | Disappointing. Does not deserve to be a 'classic' | Length:: 3:49 MinsFahrenheit 451Fahrenheit 451: A Novel | negative |
0 | This book stunk! | Well, basically what happens without all the boring details is there is this guy named Montag and he is a fire fighter. The only thing is, the job of the fire fighter is to start the fires rather than putting them out. Well one day when he has to burn this old womens house it really hits him hard because she refuses to... | negative |
0 | Turn the stove up to 451 degrees and throw this book in! | Okay,first off I would like to say that I enjoy almost any book I read. This book has made it to the top of my "burn this book" list. Dont get me wrong, the idea was well thought up, but the book wasn't well written. First off, the book starts off with someone trying to commit suicide,and this character is saved even t... | negative |
0 | Great book, bad performance | As much as I love Ray Bradbury and all of his books, he should have the good sense to have an actor read Farenheit 451 -- Ray stumbles and mumbles his way through the book, to the point that his beautiful writing loses all it's power and grace. Can't recommend this version, although the last disc is a nice interview wi... | negative |
1 | Fine novel, but it's too short | Fahrenheit 451, is a fine novel. It belongs to the kind of sci-fi, which is really imbued with meaning and consequence. Thus I would group it with other great, litterary accepted, sci-fi novels, like "Nineteen Eighty-Four" or "Brave New World". I was quite surprised about the abrupt ending of the novel. I think it's to... | positive |
0 | huge disappointment | at 180 pages i realized that i was one-quarter through the story and not even slightly interested in continuing. so i visited amazon ans clicked on the one-star reviews to see if their frustration was my frustration. if i finish it, it will be because i force myself. just before this book, i finished "on writing" by st... | negative |
0 | What Did I Just Read | I don't think I'm too dense. But this book was either way over my head or I just did not appreciate it. It definitely got some good reviews, and it's one of those books that schools force upon you to read. So I gave it a shot. It was an interesting idea and a short read (thank god), but I didn't like how it ended. It k... | negative |
0 | Fahrenheit 451 | We thought this book was a good one, but it started out to be slow and confusing. It is about a person name Guy Montag and he is a firefighter that burns books. He is starting to find out that it is not a good job, and he wants to quiet. This is all i can say because if I tell you any more it will give the book away. I... | negative |
0 | Too bad Amazon can't help out students | I am admitting this review does not relate to the actual book but to Amazon so with apologies to Ray Bradbury...Ten bucks? Really? Come on Amazon, you know this book is on a lot of school reading lists. My kid loves her Kindle but when I can buy her school reading book lists for $2 at the used book store, you lost. In ... | negative |
0 | Fahrenheit 451 Audiobook | Some Authors should NOT read their books for the audio format. This is by far the worst I have heard. I found it extremely difficult to follow the story which sounded like it was being read by my great grandfather! | negative |
0 | Burn it! | This book, whilst very good to begin with, fails in the end beacause Bradbury attemptes to beat his message in too late in the piece. He spends too much time describing the story, and his message, as he has rendered it, is too complex to cram into 180 pages. I was told to read this book in school, but was not forced, a... | negative |
0 | My thouts of the book "Fahrenheit 451" | I thought there was no point to this book what so ever and i dont suggest anyone to read it...! i had to read it for school and i didnt even finish it because it was so bad! | negative |
0 | NOT PLEASED | I was very disappointed when I received this book. I order it for my childs school project, the book could not be used. Most of the pages where underlined in black magic marker, which bleed through to the other sides and the book had notes written in the margins. Very displeased, I had to go to a bookstore and buy anot... | negative |
1 | More than just sensorship... | The lessons learned from good authors are timeless. Reading this book today one wonders how a writer 50 years ago could have so much insight into the society we live in today.Yes its about censorship, but its also about today's media and advertising culture. People are fed the news and told what opinion they should hav... | positive |
1 | This is why censorship stinks! | This book points out while at the absolute extreme mind you what the negative effects of censoring books can be. It is Ironic that this book is on the list of top 100 books challenged between 1990 and 2000. Besides being a great social commentary/civil liberties book, it is an exciting book. If you are in the mood just... | positive |
0 | The book shows a bleak vision of the future of the world | The book although very confusing , as the author uses too much detail , was intruiging . One of the things that didn't make sense was the reason for the character of clarisse mclellan's dissapearance. The ending of the book is too sudden , as if he rushed to complete the book . | negative |
0 | My Review | This book was very interesting, but I wouldn't consider it a Sci-Fi. It takes place in the future, and firemen don't put out fires, they start them. Its about a fireman named Montag who starts to question the law that says you are not aloud to have books, and his adventure after. It was a difficult book to read, but th... | negative |
0 | ahhh it is alright | this book was really boring and i had to read it for a book report so instead of me reading the whole book i just rented the movie from blockbuster and watched the movie it was much easier | negative |
0 | OK | The book was not that bad-but i wouldn't strongly recommend it. It was a bit weird for my liking. | negative |
0 | Fell short of expectations� | I heard so much about this book before I finally picked it up. And when I did get around to reading it...I wasn't impressed. Yes, the author's ideas are scary: That in the future, firemen set fires to burn books. One firefighter, Guy Montag, begins to look at his life more closely and discovers how empty it is. He begi... | negative |
0 | An OK book | Sure, this book gives some harsh warnings about the desensitization of our culture and the withering away of intellectual importance, but its radical premise detracts from the story's legitimacy and worth. Bradbury anticipates a complete elimination of all books and literature, and I do agree that we are moving in a mo... | negative |
0 | A major dissapointment | I am a huge science fiction fan and heard from many people that this is one of the ultimate Sci-fi classics. So, I decided to read it. I was very dissapointed. Though some concepts were fairly interesting they were not developed, so book had no point. I cannot understand why this novel is as famous as it is. Do not was... | negative |
0 | Fahrenheit 451, a review of | Fahrenheit 451 is an unusual book about an alternate future. In this book, firemen have to start fires instead of putting them out. But they don't just randomly burn down peoples houses. They burn down the ones in which people have books; you may by thinking why would they care about books. Well, in this alternate futu... | negative |
0 | There Are Better Dystopias Out There | This book was hard to read from the start. Eventually one can infer what is going on, but very little is explained plainly. The copy I read was from the library, and there were mispelled sticky notes throughout with what looked like two middle schoolers trying to figure out what was going on. (For instance, "Why is Bea... | negative |
0 | A bit on the iffy side . . . | I had to read Fahrenheit 451 for class in eighth grade, and from the beginning, I knew this book would turn out be quite eloquent and philsosphical, but also extremely tedious. I almost fell asleep in some occasions. Bradbury does a good job describing sections in the story, but sometimes gets carried away and forgets ... | negative |
0 | Overrated | I've just finished reading this book and although the premise behind it is intriguing, the books feels unfinished and rushed...Also, Bradbury's elegant and descriptive style of writing feels like a shroud that covers the rather poor character development and lack of interesting characters. This book also needs a large ... | negative |
0 | Fahrenheit 451 - Not worth it | This book is boring. Unless you are interested in science fiction or Ray Bradbury's work you probably wont like it. This book takes place in the future in a world where all books are banned. People spend a lot of time watching television. Montag, the main character is a firefighter who burns books. The story of the boo... | negative |
1 | Poignant and relevant still. | There isn't anything I could say that hasn't already been said in the last sixty years. It's a short read. Short, poignant, and scarily accurate for today's world. | positive |
1 | A brightly burning insight just as important today | This masterful work of future prevention as Bradbury furvently declares it speaks volumes about the ease in which even a society such as our own (especially a society such as our own) can censor the voices of freedom that speak through books. Even though some of the material and references employed are a bit dated, as ... | positive |
1 | I HATE THE IDEA OF NO BOOKS! | "Fahrenheit 451" is about a future where there is no freedom of speech. A future where every person is a mindless automaton with no feeling. They go about their life wondering whats going to be on the screen next or what they're going to eat for dinner. Worst of all it is a future where there are no books. It is a futu... | positive |
1 | FAHRENHEIT 451 | Fahrenheit 451 in my mind is a very well-written book by Ray Bradbury. Sometimes this book did get very weird, but it all had a purpose towards the end of the book. The author of this book had a very good idea for a story like this and he wrote it very well.Guy Montag has had his job for ten years as a fireman, but boo... | positive |
1 | Great! | I had to buy this book for school. At first when I was reading it, it seemed a little boring because it wasn't the type of book I usually enjoy reading. But after I got about 20 pages in, I couldn't put it down! I loved every description and foreshadowing, and how much of the technology was similar to today's, even tho... | positive |
1 | The BEST book i have ever read!! | I love this book. It is exciting and thrilling. I love the idea of people not being able to read books or think for them selfes. I think that this book should be read by all. | positive |
1 | Relevance to our times | "Fahrenheit 451" a metaphor on the freedom of speech. It is not in literary terms that knowledge can be controlled by burning books; there are other ways to accomplish that. As the world is full of people; running with lit matches. Ray Bradbury is basing his attack on every editor; censor; lobbyist; government that see... | positive |
1 | Fahrenheit 451 | Fahrenheit 451At the tender age of 9, as my 30 year old father lay in a hospital dying of cancer, my grieving young mother packed me off to a theater nearby. The feature was Fahrenheit 451, the year was 1966, and I was amazed by the message in this movie, enough to go back every night for a week, and beg my mom for the... | positive |
1 | Feel the Heat of Words | I must say that this classic, by the master of Science Fiction, is one of the greatest Scifi books written. Ray Bradbury has proved to the literary elitist, that Science Fiction is not just about non-existing technology. No, this novel questions the self-censoring nature of man. It takes place in the future, 1990s, a f... | positive |
1 | Couldn't Put It Down! | I have never read a book anything like this before. Most of the literiture that I've come across has had ideas that come from other books, but Bradury's idea was clearly original, especially if this was written in the 50's. The language is of the kind Shakespeare couldn't think of. I don't think that even George Lucas ... | positive |
1 | emotional impact | This novel intricately portrayed what Guy was experiencing, if you read this book in one sitting and allow yourself to absorb what is happening, you can feel the choas and indecision that ravages Montag's pyche. This was a refreshing aspect after reading so many award winning books that seem to try too hard to force em... | positive |
1 | One of Bradbury's best | I rarely read SF, I'm more of a fan of general fiction books like Prince of Tides or The Triumph and the Glory. But I had to read Fahrenheit 451 for a class and actually enjoyed it. It had an aura of chilling prophecy, the world may well deteriorate to conditions like that described in Bradbury's classic book, where bo... | positive |
1 | Skip the reviews; let's play the game! | Based on the reviews below, it appears that people either love or hate this book, so let's just play "What book would you be?" I would be "The Great Gatsby." Ok, your turn! | positive |
1 | Why do teachers force reading down our throats? | The major complaint against this book, as far as I can see, is from elementary school students who resent being forced to read works they don't understand. I couldnt agree more. Although I am a bibliophile, and found this book very interesting, I am also consious of the unique ability of english teachers to analyse boo... | positive |
1 | Earth-Shattering | When I first started reading this book, I realized it was just another quirky scifi book, that would end up with somebody killing somebody, and that would be the end. But as I neared the end of the book, something struck me. This COULD be OUR future...if we didn't DO something. This book completely changed my opinion a... | positive |
1 | Well Worth The Time | If there is one book that you read in high school that you should read again later in life, this is it. In fact, I'm inclined to think that it shouldn't be taught until at least college because there is simply no way that any child in high school can truely appreciate this amazing novel. Whether you hated it or loved i... | positive |
1 | captivating | As Montag's fire captain tells him, "You ask why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed." An important difference between this futuristic society created in 1953 and George Orwell's world of 1984 is that Orwell's government was top-down while all the minorities (of every race, color and creed) in Bradbu... | positive |
1 | Dystopian classic | Upon reading this book, it occurred to me just how much it gets quoted. The reasons for all the quoting is because of its continued relevance in spite of its age.The novel depicts a future filled with censorship and the "media" telling everyone what to worry about- and the worries which have absolutely no consequence. ... | positive |
0 | Uckkk | I absolutly hated this book, It not only bored me but it aggervated me to the fullest. It wasn't realistic and the things that happen in the book were just stupid! Not to mention the main character's wife was just a moron, and who wants to burn books? I mean thats alittle odd, burning down houses because people owned b... | negative |

MABY IT'S BECAUSE I'M YOUNG.OR BECAUSE I'M ONLY ON PAGE 29.ALL I KNOW IS THAT I'M LOST.I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO REVIEWED THIS BOOK. YOU HAVE HELPED... | negative |
0 | Painful listening | Ray Bradbury was a fantastic WRITER. I wish he would have stuck to his strengths. Choosing to read this book himself for the audio recording was a tremendous mistake. His speech is, at times, nearly unintelligable (He was over 80 years old at its recording). What should have been a wonderful audio book ended up being a... | negative |
0 | Poor audiobook | This may be a classic story, but Ray Bradbury is not a classic reader... I couldn't get through 5 minutes of his voice. I DO look forward to reading the actual book! | negative |
0 | Not up to par with Bradbury's other work | This is Ray Bradbury's worst book. I cannot believe ... a good writer bombs here. 1st, Clairsse McCellan, the only one who I like in the book ..., then the book skids downhill from there. 2nd, There is a lot of taking the Lord's name in vain, which is breaking a commadment and is a sin. Mr. Bradbury could do better. | negative |
0 | The Worst book I have ever read!!!! | This book was horribly written!! It confused more than it enlightened!!! I did not enjoy it at all and I never plan to read it again. | negative |
0 | DUMBEST BOOK EVER!!!! | You always here of classics being read by generation after generation, this isn't one of those. It should be burned itself. I can't believe i read this dumb book | negative |
0 | Wrong book sent! | I ordered a book for my grandson's school summer reading program. The book was supposed to be Fahrenheit 451 and I received a totally different book. I returned the book and by the time another book could be sent would be too late.I probably will not order from this site again. | negative |
1 | book, book, book | throughout the novel, you are exposed to many different thingS comparing to our world to this books words. the main character Guy is a firemen and his job in this world is to burn books that they find among the people. This book repersents the amount of learning that the people will be doing in the future of our county... | positive |
1 | A good read | I think that this book is a very interesting book because it has some very interesting characters. For instance Mildred, I think that she is a very brainwashed characte. My favorite part in this book would have to be when Montag is outrunning society. I like it because it shows in great detail what Guy is feeling, and ... | positive |
0 | The message is good but... | The message of this book is that you always need books, no matter if you have internet, TV or whatever, you always will need a book, this message is written in a book of almost 200 pages, so if someone that doesn't like to read reads this book that person will never read again no matter the message, this book goes out ... | negative |
0 | 451 review by Jessica C. | when i read Farenheit 451, my first impression was that this book is so screwed up. i mean like who would want to not read a book. thats just so wrong. the one thing i did like about the book was Guy's wife, Mildred. i liked her alot because she said that the t.v was her family. she was a little crazy though. i also li... | negative |
0 | Fahrenheit 451- Somewhat a flop | I didn't really care for this book. Fahrenheit 451 is not far-fetched though. I think some of the material mentioned in this book really could happen in the future if we let it. This is a fairly good book overall, but I'm rating it a 2 out of 5 stars because I was just confused. I am a freshmen in high school and my wh... | negative |
1 | Alright, but sort of weird | Ray Bradbury's book, Fahrenheit 451 is actually a pretty good book. I read it in seventh grade and I recommend it to anyone who likes books. Fahrenheit 451 has a very captivating plot and is pretty well written, but at some parts it got extremely confusing, especially at the part when Guy Montag's wife took too much dr... | positive |
1 | A novel about fireman who are paid to set books ablaze | This book was very interesting to read. This was my first time reading about the issue of censorship. I had recently wrote an essay about censorship and with the help of this book clearly made it easier for me to understand the issue better. | positive |
1 | Overrated. Only "half" as good. | I thought this book was going to be great since it is always on the teachers' lists of recommended readings. But I felt the story went a bit slow for me. The first half of the book, was not very interesting and it was a little confusing. But in the second half of the book the story really picks up. I would only recomme... | positive |
0 | Fahrenheit 451 | I first read this book in my L.A. class at school. This book has many meanings tied into it. Fahrenheit 451 is different then what I usally read. This book has so many hidden detals in it. In this book I can acutally see our world now ending up like the world in this book. The author of this book was brillant to make u... | negative |
0 | Fahrenheit 451 | Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, takes place in a futuristic society where reading books, or the written word, is against the law and if you get caught all of your belongings, house and all, get burned to the ground.Even though this book is completely unrealistic to our society and has firefighters burning down homes i... | negative |
0 | Fahrenheit 451 | Fahrenheit 451 is a book is filled with action and suspense. If you like a book that has many twists and turns, then you'll enjoy this book by Ray Bradberry. He tried to write about what he thought would be the worst future, with no books. They would set books onfire, because to read and poses a book is unlawful. The p... | negative |
0 | Fahrenheit 451 review | The book, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, is a perfect example of a science fiction book. This book is about the life of a fire fighter named Guy Montag who lives in a futuristic city where books are banned. The job of fire fighters in his view of the future are to set books and the houses they are hiding in on fire. T... | negative |
0 | Expectations | Not being a passionate Science Fiction reader, I did not enjoy Bradbury's writing ideas and form. I found this book to be a very slow read, not moving very fast. Some of Bradbury's ideas did not seem to fit into the story. I found this story to be too far into the future to relate to. I found the action of burning book... | negative |
1 | Sci Fi Nightmare! | Despite not being that familiar with Sci-Fi literature, I am learning to love it. In this book, Bradbury creates a powerful, disturbing imagery to ilustrate his distopia, which has bone-chilling similarities with our days. A must-read, even for those who are not Sci-Fi lovers. Why didn't I five-stared? Well, I didn't l... | positive |
1 | Great book. | Let me preface this review with the statement that I was supposed to have read this book years ago, when I was still an English Major and for some reason or not I never got to it. I now understand why it is considered a must read and classic. Its a great book with such insight to our culture that I now regret greatly n... | positive |
1 | Superb! | This is an amazing book. I decided to read it when I found out that Mr. Bradbury had passed away.Even though it's supposed to be fiction, it seems way too familiar, since unfortunately there are so many people who prefer wasting their lives doing unimportant things rather than spending their time reading.I highly recco... | positive |
1 | Hurrah for Bradbury! | Art imitating life? One need only contemplate the depths of political correctness to see the coming new order. Utopian societies are hellish and brutally banal at the same time. Like Jerry Furland's terrifying novel "Transfer - the end of the beginning", Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" delivers a message and a vision of th... | positive |
1 | Great read! | Somehow I've never managed to read this book, even in school. I'd seen it for years in the library, but was always turned off by the title/cover. To be honest, I didn't even know what it was about. However, the minute I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! With interesting themes and characters, this is definite... | positive |
1 | Excellent | Reached in time for my daughter's school . My daughter enjoy it. It was for her course material so not much can be said. | positive |
1 | What an Interesting Book! | I read this book for a book club and I really enjoyed it. It was very thought provoking, and I am sure that we will have a lot to discuss. It didn't grab me into the book, I could set it down when I needed to, but it was still really good. | positive |
1 | Great BUT hard to follow. | This is amazing, all predictions and foreshadows came true in our present day lives. Amazing story a must read. | positive |
1 | How could you give it less than five stars? | When in 8th grade I had to read this for school, the first thought that came to mind was "Oh boy, another dull, uninteresting novel to add on to all the rest." Little did I know that Farenheit 451 would come to become one of my favorite books ever. I didn't even need a teacher to tell me what Bradbury was trying to say... | positive |
1 | Good Read | I have read this book more than once, when I first read it I had to for school but really enjoyed it. I read it again and even watched the movie, the book is way better. Very good message for those that think books are bad and useless. Books remind us of the past and can help us in our day to day lives. | positive |
1 | blame xmas for lateness | Orded two books in December, and got this one just the other day (it's now the end of January). Again this was done over Christmas when the Post Offices are clogged up with post. The book is in mint condition. Thanks! | positive |
1 | A Classic. | Ray Bradbury's 'Fahreneheit 451' is a classic that almost everyone should read before they get out of high school or college. It is not just for science fiction fans, but for lovers of good storytelling. | positive |
1 | Fahrenheit 451: Review | In this book, Bradbury demonstrates his talent of symbolism as he brings the inner meaning of the book to our eyes. 451 takes place in a distant future far from our time. In a world where the government is afraid that people will learn (from books)and rebel, firemen no longer are called to the scene to put out fires, b... | positive |
1 | Farenheit 451 | When I first started reading Farenheit 451, I thought this book was a little strange. But after reading more of the book, I became mezmorized by the graphic detail and colorful language.The way Ray Bradbury writes has a disturbing realism to it. He writes about the future, but his thoughts are centered around the prese... | positive |
1 | Good Book | What can I say that has not already been said. It is a bit dark and too short, but a great effort none the less. | positive |
0 | Read it only for school | I had to read this book for school, and I really didn't like it. There were good parts, but there was a lot of wasted words in other parts. I was very surprised that some of the bad events were in great detail and the ok parts were not. I hated the bad parts because they were so disgusting to read. I am only 12 and I t... | negative |
0 | it was one of the worst novels i have ever read | it was very boring and i did not lik it at all. it lacked a basic plot and character development. i was very disappointed with the novel and with Bradbury. | negative |
0 | it was okay | I had to read this book for school, and at first I hated it. The beginning chapter is hard to understand because of all the symbolism, however, it eventually gets better. (slowly) It is easy to miss some concepts if you don't read slowly enough. I felt that the ending was far-fetched and boring. I did enjoy reading abo... | negative |
0 | The book is very boring and in some parts,doesn't make sense | This book just plain doesn't make sense and it doesn't apply to younger people. Even though many schools have made this book a standard for 9th and 10th graders to read, many of us just don't understand and get lost. We understand about censorship and all that other stuff, but why are you telling us? We are the ones th... | negative |
0 | Profoundly unfulfilling. | Another dark, gloomy, mildly confusing, Blade Runner-ishview of the future lacking in any redeeming qualities."In the future, Firemen burn books" -- Bradbury createsan inventive premise but his own gloom overtakes the story.Fraught with loose ends, this is the last book you readbefore you set yourself on fire. | negative |
1 | Classic, for a reason | I picked this up to re-read, hadn't since high school. It is wonderful, easy to see why it has been a favorite for all these years. | positive |
1 | Absorbing | The elements of the film are well portrayed in the characters interaction. While there are some changes from the book, the film does stand on it's own. | positive |
0 | Terrible, Terrible Book! | Bradbury is a good writer (I'll give him that), but I HATE his writing style. He starts making huge long mini-stories within the main story that has no point and is useless. He could have written this book in 50 less pages, and it might've gotten 2 stars. I think this is a terrible book, no offense to anyone who likes ... | negative |
1 | Great read | I loved this book in high school and now that I'm reading it ten years later the messages are even more relevant and insightful. | positive |
1 | THE BOOK HAD A GOOD CONCEPT BUT I COULDNT GET THE PHRASING | THE BOOK WAS GREAT IN THE WAY THAT IT WARNED US OF A FUTURE THAT COULD COME SOON, BUT FOR YOUNGER READERS THEY MAY HAVE A HARD TIME WITH ALL THE METAPHORS THAT HE THROWS IN THERE. | positive |
1 | impressionable | Overall, I liked this book. I am doing my 11th grade AP English-3 research paper on it. Overall, this book made me think.
