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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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)

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." ...
