De nabije toekomst. Televisie heeft het boek verdrongen en zelf nadenken is uit den boze. Guy Montag is brandweerman; maar in plaats dat hij branden blust, moet hij ze aansteken. Zo vernietigt hij het meest illegale bezit dat je kunt hebben: boeken.
De gewetensvraag van een tienermeisje en de zelfmoordpoging van zijn vrouw brengen Montags overtuiging aan het wankelen: hij begint boeken te verstoppen. Wanneer hij ontmaskerd wordt moet hij vluchten voor zijn leven.

A slog. The idea I get, but ugh. I hated the writing style, the way it progressed. I just did not like much of this book at all. Which is probably why I recall nothing about it from high school when I first read it 3x years ago.
I had read this book a long time ago and remembered it as a difficult read - my english was not quite on the same level as it is today. When re-reading it now i was blown away. An amazing story paired with wonderful storytelling. After reading "boring" contemporary novels this was delightfully refreshing
É uma distopia clássica, li há muito tempo mas lembro de não ter achado tão envolvente quanto as primas mais famosas (1984 e Admirável Mundo Novo). Recomendo o conto "Bright Phoenix" que inspirou o livro (é curtinho e achei melhor que o livro).
