seattleite Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well I guess it was good with a lot of action, but I didn't really see the "big meaning" behind the book. Maybe i have to work on my analysis, probably why I got a bad score on a test on that book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsterikcAde Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 It's kinda freaky how a little accurate the future setting is in this story I mean, this book was written in the 1940's to 1950's and the author accurately predicted that the decadents of the city in this story wears seashell like earphones, compare that today, iPod earphones are seashell shaped. Bradbury is some sort of subtle seer when making up this story, what happens in the near future we have television shows that we can respond to like guest actors in a television show? If that type of entertainment does come next year or five to six years later from now, then Bradbury is some sort of wizard or something...

Flame Dragon Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I read the book during my sophomore year of high school. I remember one of my hw assignments was to read towards the 3rd section of the book (the part when he starts to run) and instead ended up finishing it because it got really good at that point. So yea, any book that gets me to read more then I was supposed to it a good book in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 It was okay. It seemed to lose its original intention after the first third or so, but... I do have one very large quibble with the book. 'Kay, so it lays out its premise, books are illegal. Interesting. Then it goes back and produces a reason: because everything will inevitably offend somebody, better get rid of all of it. Also interesting, as well as plausible. The moral, according to [url="p://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WordOfGod"]Word of God[/url] is... TECHNOLOGY WILL DOOM US ALL. fr srs It's like he didn't even write his own book.

n8thegr8 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I enjoyed the book for its meaning and I thought that it gave a very accurate description of what the future might hold if we rely on technology too much. However, I just didn't like the book very much at all. I guess thats just because it didn't appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I had to read it for my summer reading before freshman year, but despite that, it struck me as an alright book. Don't remember the specifics, but I remember being somewhat enraptured in the story, but I only read it during the "one hour breaks" my family put my cousin and I on while on vacation.
