Guy Montag is a fireman. He works to destroy books. Any books. All books. Sometimes the owners of these books choose to burn right alongside them. This is all normal. Montag doesn’t think anything of it. Until one day, he talks to a neighbor who makes him see things a little differently. All of a sudden, he’s questioning everything he’s ever known.

Fahrenheit 451 has been on my list of books to read for a while. I’ll admit, it took me some time to work through it, but it had its moments where I didn’t want to put it down. The whole story was fascinating. Imagining the world that Montag lived in was horrifying. I really enjoyed how he started to think for himself even though it went against everything he knew.

I’m not going to do a deep dive into the symbolism of the story. I’m not going to study it. I’ll just tell you that I liked it well enough that I’d consider reading it again in the future. The author’s writing style was very interesting. The descriptions were vivid. It even had a ‘good dystopian hike through the woods!’ You know how we love those! If you’re interested in this book, I’d recommend you give it a try. It’s only 158 pages.
