We had to read the book for my English class. It was very good.

I read 1984 twice and Brave New World bnut never read F-451. I didn't know it was THAT good. I saw a bit of the Movie version late one night on the sci-fi channel but, I thought it was corny. I'll just get the book. And, what is Anthem about?

No way dude.......you seriosuly can't do that. Watching the movie is like...murder of the book. This book is so beautiful I'm like shaking in my seat just hinking about it.

I couldn't quote one line from the book. I couldn't name all of the main characters. And I probably couldn't even tell you about how long it is.

But if the effect on me is THIS strong...you know its good.

The movie for farenheit 451 was really bad, but enjoyable in its own way. Most adaptations of Bradburys stuff are the same.

The black and white 50's version of 1984 was amazing, though. One of the best adaptations from a book I've ever seen.

We watched the movie too. I fell asleep.

after reading the book i couldnt get over the fact that the "captian Beatty" knew more about books then anyone. wasnt it ironic that he was the captain of the firemen?

Finished reading it today, did'nt get around to buying it until a week ago. It is more relavant to our society than 1984 was, 1984 is what we can become, F-451 is us now.
