The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning, along with the houses in which they were hidden. Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires, and he enjoys his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames. He never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid and a professor who told him of a future in which people could think. Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do.
This book was good. It ended as though it made me think there was a sequel. I don't think there is, though. A lot of it was confusing and made me think. I wouldn't have read it, if it weren't for AP literature. I'm really not into science fiction. Though the alternative universe of reading books as illegal, it got me thinking what I would do if there were no books either. I don't think I would go as far as the guy in the book did, but still- no reading books. Where would this website be?
