Book Review of Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451
Author: Ray Bradbury
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
Book Type: Paperback
Helpful Score: 6


Throughout high school, this book was always on the summer reading list. For one reason or another, I never chose to read it. I wish I had taken the time to read this sooner. Fahrenheit 451 now has a spot on my list of favorite books and I have already started recommending it to people.

I greatly enjoyed this book but was surprisingly disappointed by the ending. I don't really know what I was expecting. I felt like the ending was lacking compared to the rest of the story. I also didn't like what happened with Clarisse. She wasn't a great character, but I thought there could have been more of an explanation.

Everyone who loves books should read this one. Read and keep reading in case we're no longer allowed to in the future.
