This was an interesting book. It's classic sci-fi at its best, and really made me think about freedom of press and freedom of speech. It's set in the future: the government controls the media that everybody is allowed to see, and books (considered to be evil) are burned whenever they are found. This is the job of the firemen, who travel from house to house finding and burning books. A great read, and very thought provoking.

I thought it was a really good book. It dealt with issues regarding censorship and reality, but was also very poetic in doing so. This book is a classic and should be required reading for everyone.

Ahead of its time. Read after news and American Idol.

this is a futuristic work of fiction, looking to the future to create a book about repression, suspicion, and tension. it's so wonderfully written, and the story is easily beliveable. really makes you think.
