Guy Montag is a fireman in the future. Now, firemen have a different type of job in this story. They burn things, rather than put out fires. What do they burn? Books. Why? Because if nobody reads, nobody will think, nobody will be offended by truth, and everybody will be happy. Right? No. Montag thinks his job is wrong, but what can he do about it?

A rather interesting book with a big warning attached to it. I enjoyed Fahrenheit 451 immensely, with few problems. My main complaint is that the last ten pages or so were a bit far fetched. Other than that, I highly recommend this one.
