Fahrenheit 451 Ben

Fahrenheit 451 is a book written by Ray Bradbury and was first published in 1954 by Rupert Hart-Davis Lmt. It is a book about upside down world where firefighters do not put out fires they burn books. The main character is a man named Guy Montag, he is a fireman and burns books.

The plot is a process of how Montag comes to realise that he is living in a broken world full of dangerous and powerful things and people. The next "main" character would probably the mechanical hound because it was a character that was always lurking behind the scenes waiting for it's chance to strike.

The main characters after that would be Professor Faber and Clarisse because they both helped Montag realise what type of world he was living in. Clarisse being the starter and Faber being the finisher.

Overall I have read better books but if you think back to when it was written, The Cold War was at it's peak. 
3 Stars
