Annotation
Note to Adobe Customers: The Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader version is printable, but there is a known problem printing to printers that do not use the PostScript page description language. This problem occurs with some HP LaserJet, Epson Stylus inkjet, and Epson impact printers. Consult your printer’s documentation to find out if it is PostScript compatible. This does not affect your ability to read the book on screen.
More Reviews and RecommendationsBiography
A veteran sci-fi author with side talents for poetry, plays and screenwriting, Ray Bradbury has had a long career of provoking thought and a compelling uneasiness in generations of readers. But rather than create worlds made for escape, Bradbury refracts our own foibles through otherworldly prisms.

October 12, 2009: If you intend to read this in order to get out of reading the book...just don't. It is very cumbersome and detailed. This book is best used for in-depth discussions in a college class or a book club.

December 05, 2006: I read the book ?Fahrenheit 451? by Ray Bradbury. I would give this book a rating of 2 out of 5 stars. The reasons I wouldn?t give this book a good rating are: 1. The book was very short, only 186 pages. 2. There was not enough information given about the characters. 3. The story line of the book was not very good. 4. The idea of the book is very boring. 5. Its plot is that there is a fire team and the team captain believes that knowledge should be eliminated from earth so he makes his fire team burn books. Instead of putting out fires with water hoses, they actually feed them with kerosene hoses. 6. The setting of the book is the future, which no one can actually describe this because no one knows what this planet will be like in years to come. If you compare these facts with one of the most popular books that are out today, ex: ?Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? by J.K Rowling, I would give ?Harry Potter? a rating of 4.8 out of 5 because: 1. Its length is much better, over 650 pages. 2. There is much more information about the characters what they look like, how old they are, what their role in the story is, etc. 3. The story line is much better. Sometimes it is a little predictable but hardly ever. 4. Its characters are also more realistic than those of ?Fahrenheit 451.? 5. Both of these stories are fiction. This is okay however some people do not like fiction books. 6. This story however may be the most popular one out right now yet may not even be the best of it?s series. It is the newest of the series that is why it is so popular. The best book in its series is probably the one that came out prior to this one, ?Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix?. I would give ?Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix? a 5 out of 5 star rating. The reasons I like this book most are: 1. It?s length: 870 pages. 2. It?s story line is even better than the one of ?Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.? 3. It?s setting remains the same throughout the whole series. 4. Its plot is very good for a fiction book. As you can see, overall, if you enjoy fiction books, ?Harry Potter is one that will not let you down. I would highly recommend the ?Harry Potter? series by J.K Rowling to anybody over ?Fahrenheit 451? by Ray Bradbury.
