Review by mjeske |
| I thought this was a good book because it was about how the world would be without books. guy montag is a fireman his job is to start fires in houses where books are hidden. Books are illegal and nuclear war is a part of life. Montag lives like this until he meets a young girl named Clarrise who changes Montag's life with a question.
--------------
In the future, firemen don't put out fires, they start them by burning books. At first I didn't think I was going to like this book but now I absolutely love it. |
