I just finished the amazing book "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. When I was starting this book I didn't think that I would like it. I felt like that it wouldn't have that much of a plot. Or it would have one but it wouldn't be that interesting. I enjoyed it so much that I think it's one of my favorite books. I just want to talk about what the author wrote about today. This book was mainly a prediction of what would happen in the future. This prediction is actually pretty close to what is happening today.
I wonder what made Ray Bradbury write this book. Was it just for fun? Or did he want someone in the future to think about this? One thing is that the book in this world and our own world is actually really similar which is scary. Paper books aren't used that much in this world anymore. People are on their electronics all the time. Maybe, you never know, it will be illegal to keep books. Except I hope not. That's mostly it that I loved about this book.

Response on Fahrenheit 451
I just started "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, and so far it's a really good book. I didn't really think that this was an interesting book when I saw the cover. When I started reading it, it actually was pretty interesting. It was so cool how Ray Bradbury wrote about how he thought the future would be. This book was written almost 50 years ago. His prediction is actually pretty close to what is going on today. Well, not that close but it is similar.
One thing is that paper books aren't used that much these days. You can find books on electronic everywhere. People are using nooks and kindles. Books aren't sold that much. More people are buying these electronic devices and not buying books that much. It's possible that in the future it will be a crime to keep books.
I don't think that it is very likely that it will happen but it might happen. Maybe in like 50 years. The only time people buy books is maybe when they need a textbook. Except that's not that often. Some people probably buy like 5 textbooks a year. Not that much. Anyway, this book is really interesting!
