My ninth grader's reading list for this coming school year is forcing me to read books that have intimidated me or have not appealed to me. So far I have been pleasantly surprised at how much I have enjoyed them!! Guess they are called "classic literature" for a reason!
Montag is a fireman . . .he starts fire . . .to burn books. When he begins to interact with his mysterious neighbor, Clarisse, he begins to view his boss, his job and his life differently. Does he dare test the system?
I especially found the afterword, coda and author interview enlightening and witty in this edition.
*Highly recommend (for high school or older-see warnings).
Warnings: God's name used as a curse word, swearing, demise of human kind-no regard for human life, mentions sex and heroin
