Fahrenheit 451 #10

I really liked the novel Fahrenheit 451. The title caught my eye first. It did because it was not a generic title it was a factual title. 451 degrees is the temperature that books burn. It represents the novel greatly because it is about the burning of books. I like the story line to. It was easy to follow. It was simple because from the beginning of the novel we understand that Guy Montag does not like his life and he wants a change. This shows me that not everyone is perfect. I liked some of the characters. Clairsse McCeallan was my favorite. She was because she was not afraid to be herself and she was a good people reader. People like her scare me because they know more than the information they are given. They know when someone is lying. I also liked Clairsse because she did random things. I wish I was more like her. though she was a little weird. I was sad when I heard she died. It was not official that she died, I like to think that she came back and was in the pack of the nomads where Guy ended up in the end of the book. Mildred was a horrible character. She did let us know the true nature of Guy, she was still dreadful. I am glad I am not married to her. The style of writing kind of confused me. Sometimes I would be reading and then all of a sudden I would have no idea what he was talking about and I would miss the little details. This is a classic that does not seem like a classic. It does not because Ray Bradbury tried to write the book in the future. His future is about the time now. It is funny to see some of the things he added from his time, like the salary of the workers. I bet the never dreamed of someone making fifty thousand dollars in a year. I would recommend this book to people because it is short, it has a good message, and it is well written.
