Fahrenheit 451 - Review

This is my final review on Fahrenheit 451.

First I will start off with what I liked:

I enjoyed the plot. I thought the theme with the Phoenix at the end was good. I really liked how everything was consistent with the environment. The vocab in the book was average. However, some of the sentences really had to be interpreted due to their deeper meaning. I also enjoyed the theme of technology and the role it plays in society throughout the book.

However, I disliked a few things. These are mostly pet peeves. I feel that the book itself needs to be re-written to fit into modern times. I hated how they just called it the green earpiece, or how the book had mechanical hounds. The government couldn't have anything better than a robotic dog to pursue criminals. I think a better book would be one that shows how this world came to be. I'd rather see how the government in the book would ban all information. I think that would be a far better book.
