Fahrenheit 451 thoughts

If i had to rank Farenheit 451, I'd give it a 3/5 because it is well written, but I don't like the plot. I don't think the book is written about an interesting topic. While reading F451 I couldn't believe the technology Ray Bradberry predicted. This book was copy righted in  1951 when they barely had colored tv's and he predicted things like the ear piece, and the parler walls which I guess we could call giant flat screen tv's. Bradberry may have predicted many things correctly but he also forgot to predict the biggest piece of technology the smart phone! It's unbelievable that he could guess society so right over 60 years ago.
The theme I had for the book was cencership causes indivisual thought and through part 3 so far I have seen that quite frequently like when Montag is in the woods and he sees the foresters using fire a different way than hes ever seen it's because the government has had so much control that every citizen has no knowledge and is clueless. Another thing I've seen that represents this theme is during the chase, they knew they had to end it because people don't have long enough attention spands to watch it.

Oh, yeah Audrey! Beginning

So far I love this book, it has been hard to put it down. I really like Audrey Hepburn and this has a unique point of view on one of her movies and her. So far the book started so far with Gemma coming into NYC from Phillie on a train in a spir of the moment trip to meet fellow Audrey Hepburn bloggers. Her story is turing out to be like the movie breakfast at tiffany's which Audrey is the star of. They both ran away, ended up in NYC, and ended up at Tiffany's.

I like how Tucker Shaw used a unique way of sorting chapters. To me it looks like the book is set during one day and each chapter is 30 minute intervals. I like this because you really get an in depth look at her day instead of a summary. I also enjoy that the book was recently wrote and I can connect to it that way. Things like iphones and netflix were mentioned which made the book much easier to relate to. Overall, I'm excited to keep reading this book.
