Farenheit 451 Thomas

Farenheit 451 is a truly fascinating book because of its futuristic features . The book being published in 1954 has some very possible ideas. Although I got lost part of the way through it I feel I got a good sense of what was happening.

Main Characters

Montag- Montag is the focus throughout the book who is getting constantly chased down by the mechanical hound who is programmed to kill montag.

Beattie- This man was also trying to hunt down montag because he knew that Montag had a thing for hiding books. Beattie is the proggramer of the mechanical hound who was set out to kill Montag.

Mechanical Hound- This vicious creature started hunting down Montag right from the start of the book. After Montag avoided a number of close calls with this creature he finally injected a drug into Montag called Procaine near the end of the book.

Overall, this book is very different as there are lots of odd events. For example, firefighters have a role of burning books rather than putting out the fires. Once again a very futuristic book but quite hard to understand in some parts.
