Fahrenheit 451 Book Review/Final Thoughts

Hello again everyone! I finished reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury about a week ago, so I am going to give you all a review on the book and what my final thoughts are. I'm going to try my absolute hardest to keep spoilers out of this post so that I don't ruin it for those of you that haven't read it. Overall, the book was very well written and the plot was intriguing, but I didn't care for it. Books that fall under the dystopian category don't really appeal to me, so this was a bit of a boring read. I asked around and found that my peers were split about half and half in regards to liking or disliking the 50 some year old classic. I am not saying that Ray Bradbury is a bad writer, because he isn't. He is one of the greatest writers of his time, I'm just saying that I don't particularly care for his writing style. I felt at some point the plot was a bit hard to follow, and I would find myself re-reading lines 2-3 times, which isn't a normality for me. I also found that some details in the book were repetitive, like Mildred's love for her television parlor walls. The unit in class wasn't as bad as my older peers had made it out to be, which was good, but it still wasn't the most fun unit I've ever done in English. It seems to me that the Fahrenheit unit has been extremely long, maybe it's just because of all the snow days our school has had. If you have read this book, comment and tell me what you thought of it. Have a great week and try to stay warm!
