Having just finished F451 and, with it reasonably fresh in your mind, I would like to challenge you to write a book review, as I value your thoughts here. A few things to think about: date of publication (therefore era of thinking which may have been different to our world outlook that we have today), the background to Ray Bradbury writing this novel (see afterword in school copy), the theme, characters, its place as a 'sci-fi classic' (what defines a classic?), the 'futuristic' feel (how visionary - I know we have talked about this before - Bradbury was), and just your 'red hat' thinking (your gut feel - did you enjoy it as a story? Was it funny? Was it unnerving? Does it teach us any lessons? Oh and...should we get hold of a copy of the original movie? Would you be interested in watching it?
