So, first things first- I have never written a review before, but my friend peer pressured me into it. shakes fist angrily at the heavens ANYWHO, I decided to write it on a book I loved. :)

You know that feeling you get when you know you're going to love a book? That's how it was for this book. The first line of the story is just, I don't know, chilling (not really, but it's really awesome).

“It was a pleasure to burn.”

I've never read any of Bradbury's other works, but this book really, really makes me want to. It was loaded with metaphors, and had a great plot/meaning. Now, I will say, some times the metaphors were a bit much, but I still believe this book is worth the 5 stars. In conclusion, this book was a pleasure to read. (Sorry for the corniness- I couldn't resist.)
