So... How to start a review about a classic which I know a lot of people like. I was really intrigued by the idea behind Fahrenheit 451 and I enjoyed the first couple of chapters, but then it took a turn. Short story: I didn't like the way the plot was going. It was just decent. I started to lose interest in reading this book, which made me sad, since this has been on my TBR for years. (ever since I've heard what it's about). Even though I don't particularly like the book I'm still glad that I read the book. It definitely shows the heaviness of the air in a world where the government controls the input of knowledge (and its tight grip on society). It had an unsettling feeling which I really appreciated in this story.

Conclusion: it was a decent story. I would recommend it even though I didn't like it as much. This novel was very ahead of its time and people should appreciate that (and the bloody wonderful writing).
