Fahrenheit 451-Q. 1

The authors attitude towards this book is positive yet mysterious. He never says anything that is too negative and if he does it is for a short while then on to a new subject. Along with rare negative text and sections in the book, he always would leave little hints to questions on what would happen next. He would never reveal anything prematurely, but he always left me wondering. He was able to use this effectively an keep the reader reading. You would never want to put the book down it was so good and I continued to read. This came in second in my choice of favorite books behind Old Man and the Sea because in Fahrenheit 451 because it was an interesting read and it always left me wondering what would happen next.

The story was written in third person just like in Grapes of Wrath, but unlike that book Fahrenheit 451's author used effective adjectives so that it wouldn't bore the reader. In Grapes of Wrath the constant repeating of words made the book feel like it took forever to read. I was excited when both of them were done, but for obvious different reasons. For one, I hated Grapes of Wrath so anything other than it was better, and second the ending to Fahrenheit 451 was a lot more interesting and intriguing. I overall enjoyed the futuristic setting of this book written from a third person's perspective.

Fahrenheit 451 was an overall good book, and had a huge effect on what I thought about summer English homework. Last year all of the books bore me and i dreaded reading them, but this year the books were fun and entertaining. I'm glad that I picked a book I liked, because it is a lot easier finishing a book you like than one that might be smaller. I didn't realize this until this summer which is shocking for the amount of books I have read for school in my lifetime.
