Fahrenheit 451

Ballantine Books, 1968

One of the best of the disturbing future stories
While many people consider Ray Bradbury to be a science fiction writer, that is a very inaccurate and incomplete categorization. He is a master storyteller, in many ways I consider him superior to Asimov and Heinlein, because he is better able to take an effective turn ...
  
  











  



  
Fahrenheit 451 (Spanish Language Edition)
Ray Bradbury

Plaza y Janes, 2006

451 Review
This book was in Spanish. I think it should have been more clearly marked. It was delivered quickly and was in good shape though.
  
  











  



  
Fahrenheit 451 and Related Readings (Literature Connections)

Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury

HarperVoyager, 2004

A must read for everyone
This book should be on everyones bookshelves and should be required reading for every middle school student. Instead we force rot our children's brains with Harry Potter nonsense along with other books of fluff and non substance. Farenheit 451 might be science fiction ...
  
  











  



  
It's Easier Than You Think: The Buddhist Way to Happiness
Sylvia Boorstein

HarperOne, 1997

A great intro to Buddhism
Although the book never dives too deeply into the history of Buddhism, Sylvia's personal stories, accompanied by her thoughts on Buddhist practices, provides more insight into the teachings of Buddha than I could have absorbed in any straight forward text. Since this ...
  
  











  



  
Fahrenheit 451

Ballantine, 2001

Bradbury's classic parable on the evils of censorship
I am teaching "Fahrenheit 451" as the example of a dsytopian novel in my Science Fiction class, although it is certainly one of the most atypical of that particular type of narrative discourse. Compared to such heavy weight examples as George Orwell's "1984," Aldous ...
  
  











  



  
A Room with a View and Howards End (Signet Classics)
E. M. Forster

Signet Classics, 1986

Magnificent, Beautiful and wonderful
Forget Dickens, forget Austen, for the most English of authors Edward Morgan Forster was , to me, the most gifted English author of all time. He wrote in wonderful sentences with Beautiful words. 'Room with a View' starts at an English Guest house in Florenece. Lucy ...
  
  











  



  
Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury

Blackstone Audiobooks, 2005

Written in the basement of the UCLA library
I do not want to tell much of the story, as the unfolding is part of the intrigue. However now that houses are fire proof the purpose of firemen is performing a service by burning books to maintain the happy social order. Naturally one fireman goes awry after ...
  
  











  



  
Farenheit 451
Ray Bradbury

Del Rey, 2004

Dry leaves serve the fire
Just try to imagine how could be our world today with every book with a death sentence... it would be worst that it is today. This is a terrific story, which comes from a desperate internal scream of liberty, `cause our freedom is made in the cements of the knowledge. ...
  
  











  



  
Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury

Del Rey, 1987

Ominous reading
I remember seeing the movie based on this book with Oskar Werner and Julie Christie when I was a teenager and discussing it with my teachers. As you read the book many similarities can be seen today, such as large billboards, people not talking to each other, a society ...

Hitler: 1936-1945 Nemesis
Ian Kershaw

W. W. Norton & Company, 2000

Excellent
To be sure, military historians may be upset because Kershaw doesn't cover every little thing when it comes to the war, but this is the place to start and finish when it comes to Hitler from 1936-1945. The book is very well written and highly readable. If you want ...

Fahrenheit 451 : A Unit Plan (Litplans on CD)
Mary B. Collins

Teachers Pet Pubns Inc, 2000

Pretty Hokey
I was eager to use many items in this unit; but upon close reading find much of it too hokey and juvenile to use in my Sophomore English class. Come on...the first writing assignment is a 'home fire escape plan' and map! And, a bulletin board idea is "fire safety." ...
  
  











  



  
A Good House: A Novel
Bonnie Burnard

Picador, 2001

Deceivingly Simple
This novel tells the story of one family, 3 generations, over a span of 50 years. Burnard allows us to share in their happiness, anger and grief, as well as all those other parts day-to-day existence. The simple writing can seem one-dimensional at first glance, but ...
