CORRECTED: This weekend is the Super Bowl. The teams playing are the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I really wanted the Philadelphia Eagles to go to the Super Bowl because Donovan McNabb deserves a ring. All he has is his Campbell’s Chunky Soup commercials.

Book review: Farenheit 451

BOOK REVIEW
By: Cara Potiker




Fahrenheit 451 was in my opinion a fantastic novel. The book was about a fireman named Guy Montag. This book took place in the future so the firemen started fires instead of putting them out. In the beginning Guy liked his job and was perfectly content with his life. Instead of learning kids took TV classes and people changed history. Everything was perfectly fine until Clarisse came. Clarisse was a teenage girl that Guy met on the way home from work one night. Clarisse opened his eyes to thousands of possibilities about the past and the future. Montag started to question life and not just follow along mindlessly with the others.
This book was written in third person. I really loved how Ray BradBury developed the characters. As the book goes on you can see how tortured Guy Montag is with his life, his wife, and his job. Everything was happy on the outside but he needed change on the inside. The plot was incredible to me. Firemen that start fires, television classes instead of a curriculum, a man that is tired of his life so he explores his mind. Reading in this book is illegal. The firemen start fires to get rid of books and people who read are arrested. This whole weird future was made to try to bring peace but little did they know that Guy Montag would rebel.
This book drew me in since the very first page. I didn't want to stop after my required pages of reading each night. In this book when the author showed Guy's though process and the way he was questioning life showed me a lot about the authors writing style and intellect. It was very interesting to see how the though process of the characters changed throughout the book. Guy was definitely a strong character and I really learned to like him throughout this book.
I highly recommend this book for fourteen and up. The vocabulary and story line may be too confusing if you're younger. I give this book a ten out of ten. I though it was definitely worth reading. If you want a book that will pull you in and hold you until the very end I would pick up Farenheit 451.
This book was fantastic. It was written fifty years ago and the world still doesn’t look like it does in the futuristic setting of the book. It keeps you wondering if the future will ever be like that. A must read in my opinion. It will open your eyes to hundreds of possibilities about what the future holds.
