MY F451

The way I interpreted this novel was that, it's set in a future where books, and the ideas they represent are burned to prevent disruptions in society. It's main character Guy Montag is responsible for those burnings to take place, but an unexpected chain of events lead him to question both himself and the society in which he lives. Through its intense, action-packed telling of Montag's story, the narrative explores themes relating to the need for and power of independent thought, humanity's capacity for self-limitation , and the value of courage. This is far off a very good book that gives you a lot to think about and inspires you to read more of anything.
