Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? (Goodreads)
With incredibly rich language and an entertaining enough plot, Ray Bradbury crafts what is justifiably known as a science fiction classic. Although the plot may be disjointed at times, weighed down with almost too much figurative language, it is still masterfully written. A well done protagonist with engaging internal conflict, combined with the parallel of captain Beatty make for an entertaining main conflict. While the supporting cast could be stronger, Fahrenheit 451 is still justifiably a classic. 8.0/10
