  Given my left-wing dispositions, it's a surprise that I haven't read Fahrenheit 451 yet. But the chance has finally arrived, as a copy was given to me. There are things to be said about this book, and some are good and some are bad. Well, for one thi ... (read full critics)

  Just began, I felt I couldn't stop reading it.
  Strikingly clairvoyant, and wonderfully written.

  "There was a silly damn bird called a phoenix back before Christ, every few hundred years he built a pyre and burnt himself up. He must have been first cousin to Man.

  "There was a silly damn bird called a phoenix back before Christ, every few hundred years he built a pyre and burnt himself up. He must have been first cousin to Man. But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again. And it looks like we're doing the same thing, over and over, but we've got one damn thing the phoenix never had. We know the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, someday we'll stop making the goddamn funeral pyres and jumping in the middle of them. We pick up a few more people that remember every generation."

  This is a fabulous book. I have read it twice and loaned it out many times. I have yet to meet the person who dislikes it.

  1984's "soulmate" book

  This is one of those books you cannot miss in your life. A visionary, troubling and terribly realistic story about the importance of culture and human exchange. I read almost all of it in the subway and I was creeped out by the image of dull people listening to their earphones...

  ho trovato la scrittura un po' sorpassata e sinceramente non sempre "comprensibile". poco fluida a tratti e macchinosa.
  la storia in se è accattivante e in parte attuale.

  Un classico che non può mancare in una libreria che si rispetti, ma a tratti mi ha davvero annoiato. 1984 di Orwell è di tutt'altra pasta.
