you know they burned books in 1984 too right? and 1984 is just better written than this dumb book they use in school to scare children in liking le words on page between leather but utterly fail because its shit and uses shitty coming of age tropes like inserted romance story

You've been trying to make these Fahrenheit 451 threads work for a while now and it is usually always just you insulting other people and samefagging responses to keep the thread going. It was a trash book and you were filtered. Cope as much as you need to.

Untrue. Orwell develops better ideas, but Orwell was a terrible writer.

I love RB, F451 is definitely one of my favourite books as well. You're based OP :)

Bradbury had better books, anon. F451 was alright, don't get me wrong, but everyone knows this one. Try to introduce them to other books by Ray. Martian Chronicles, Dandelion Wine, Something Wicked, and so on.
My contribution to this thread will be pic related.

it doesnt matter, 1984 and F451 are both shit but 1984 has a better plot than the toddler imagined super evil government written in F451 where gubbermint burns ALL books irrationally

Gardner's first 16 books are unedited pre-kindergarten gibberish & aren't worth the electrons it takes to store them on Amazon's servers.
But somehow, his 17th book is a vast improvement! Vastly fewer spelling/grammar/punctuation errors!
The MC is the usual self-insert, and the plot is the usual meandering dream-like incoherent babble, but you can't have everything.
So skip the first 16 garbage-tier books, and read Call Of United Airlines instead.
Even better, you can download it for free!

Agree. 451.. okay at best.

Steinbeck can be ridiculously good. Pacing, refrains, building things up and then the fall. I've read other writer's come close to putting together something that works sentence to sentence, beat to beat, beginning to end, but they just have some flaw. East of Eden over Wrath or Cannery.
