Fahrenheit 451

I can see why this is required reading for school. It's perfect for that: short, has good discussion topics, exciting. But, reading it as fiction, it left some to be desired. There was really only one character. I think I would have liked it better if I had read more classics, then I would understand the references.

Age range: 14+
Drug overdose and some violence, but written in 1950's language so it's chill.
