Book Review: Fahrenheit 451

During these last five Lit Circles, I read the book Fahrenheit 451. Fahrenheit 451 is a book about a lot of weird stuff. It shows a lot of things that would probably never happen in life. It shows how life can be hard for different people while easy for some. But really life is just hard, when someone thinks life is easy, than they are probably like the main character in this book. He used to think life was easy, but then his life changed in a flash. It shows that life can change at any moment at some persons’ life, it might be for the good of the person or bad for the person. But it can happen anywhere at any time. This book is about Guy Montag, a firefighter whose job was to start fires to burn books, life changes after he meets a seventeen year old girl, named Clarisse learns what life is and was really about.

I would recommend this book to people who like books that has a bunch of twist and turns and a bunch of different weird things that make it a unique book. Also I would recommend this book to people who would like to read books that takes place in the future and happens in a different future that no one would think of. Also I would recommend this book to people who like parts in a book instead of chapters. Also I would recommend this book to people who haven’t read for a while and wants to start off reading with a good book. Also that if you like books that make the plot big and that makes you want to read more and like books that you need to understand, than this book is the right one for you.

I would not recommend this book to people who don’t like books that make the plot to hard to understand. Also that if you hate books that make you have to read the entire book to have a general understanding of the book, then don’t read this book. This book makes the simplest of things so difficult to understand. Also if you absolutely hate books that make the future seem a little bit scary and a whole lot different, then do not read this book. This book scares you into thinking that books would have a different point of view to them than just knowledge. It shows that books will be needed for the future, and it tries to tell you that in 165 pages of worthless reading. Also if you cannot understand a book that talks about things that are possibly and likely to happen, than this book is not for you.

If books can interest you and make you want to read more of the book to learn more about books, than read it. This book shows what books can do to the future. It also shows what books will be needed for in the future. It also shows that if you’re not a book reader and you want to become one, don’t pick this book, pick a more easier book to understand. This book has so many twists and turns that I can make a tornado out of them. Also because it is the kind of book that you need to understand in the future if you ever start reading the book.

Overall I didn’t like this book one bit. It was too hard to understand. It had so many twists and turns that it made me dizzy. It was not a good book at all. These kinds of books give me no reason to want to read at all. This book shows me nothing that will help me at my age right now. It might be useful when I’m older, but it won’t help me now. Also because it is so weird of one thing happens then another, and another, and it just keeps going on. Overall I hated this book so much that it had made it to my top ten of things or people I hate the most. The book to me just sucked.

LT - I'm sorry you didn't like this book. You really never explain why though. Was it the plot, the author's writing, style, the characters??? You can't write a book review just saying it sucks, you have to explain why!
