* entry of your choice: What would you rate this book between 1-10? why?
I would rate the novel, Fahrenheit 451 an 8 out of 10. I didn't really enjoy reading this book but I can appreciate Ray Bradbury's ideas and thoughts. The books relations to our lives are strong. What is interesting is that he wrote this novel a long time ago yet the material in it is still relevant to us today and for those in the future. I don't think this was the best book for me even though I can relate with many of the characters. In parts of the book I was confused and had to re-read many parts of the book to fully understand what Ray Bradbury was trying to say. I didn't really like it, but at the same time I didn't hate it. The novel was very good at explaining itself but in parts it was very confusing and seemed to be irrelevant. In the end though everything ties together and comes into focus. Some seems did not make any sense, for example on Page 48-" The Hound, he thought. It's out there tonight. It's out there now. If I opened the window... He did not open the window."
I honestly don't like this part of the book. What is the point in saying this? I got really confused with this part. But many other scenes in this book are intriguing and interesting. Ray Bradbury is a very good author and his ideas have impacted the world in my opinion.

Same thought here! We shouldn't be happy by what the world around us offers! However it is also difficult to get out of the world's technology... =T
But I personally think 2007 is quite as extensive as in the novel. We use computers, cell phones, mp3, etc. everyday! Even blogs!We have to use the computer to do our blogs. Most of the people depend on technology rather than themselves these days. And I think that the future Bradbury predicts is not that far from 2007.
