Fahrenheit 451

“We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?”

I understand why it's a classic. Its theme is nerve-wrecking and thought provoking.

However, the writing style it's not one of my absolute favorites. It was a bit too flowery for my taste and that prevented me from being 100% engrossed in the book.

Still, the only significant problem I had with it was the length. It was much to concise. I needed a more time with the characters in order to get a fell for them, especially with Guy. Everything happened so quickly that I'm afraid I couldn't get connect to him as much as I would've liked to. I couldn't help comparing this to Orwell's 1984 (which I found completely engrossing) and this one came out a little behind.

Nevertheless, still I'm so happy I finally read it.
