Personal Review

On my 16^th birthday, I got Fahrenheit 451 from my uncle. He said that he read it when he was younger and that I might also like it. For a little over a year I had tried to make time to read the book without success. When I got the ISU assignment, I thought it was the perfect time to finally read the book from start to finish. I personally think that Fahrenheit 451 is a great book to read. It has a thrilling plot. The story always keeps you interested and has a few surprises. The book also has a great protagonist. Guy Montag is a relatable character he often (after meeting Clarisse) questions his life and how the world used to be. Fahrenheit 451 also has a pretty real warning to the world about the future of technology. The way that the book is written is also interesting. Instead of breaking it up into chapters, author Ray Bradbury composed the book out of three connecting short stories. The parts are named for important parts in the story. For example, the section called The Hearth and the Salamander mentions a hearth (fireplace) and a firetruck that is called a Salamander. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who wants to read it.
