Fahrenheit 451 is a story based on a world where books are no longer allowed. Freedom of speech and thought have been oppressed to the point of all books being banned. Fahrenheit 451 is supposedly the tempature where a book will start to burn, hence the title name. In the story you follow the main character, a fireman named Montag, as he discovers the value of books and starts his own individual rebellion against what he has always known. A great story, set in a world that would be horrible for a book lover to suffer in. No books = Nightmare! Fahrenheit 451 is a classic dystopian novel for day 3 of our Dystopian countdown...
