FAHRENHEIT 451

Reading the Wikipedia on Fahrenheit 451 I learned that this book was on of Bradbury's best works that he ever created. He wrote this on his concern for book burning during the McCarthy era and how people were actually burning books at that time. The book has won many awards and Bradbury was honored for his great work. The plot is in some mid west city after the 1960s.   

Its been a while

      After starting to read Fahrenheit 451 I have found that its a lot more than just a book. I found I can really connect with Montag and the story. Before getting into this book and really reading I saw that reading really isn't bad at all as long as you find a book that you can really see your self in just as dr. Preston said.
