The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning ... along with the houses in which they were hidden.

Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires. And he enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs or the joy of watching pages consumed by flames, never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid. Then Guy met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think. And Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do...

"Frightening in its implications... Mr. Bradbury's account of this insane world, which bears many alarming resemblances to our own, is fascinating."
— The New York Times

4 (Muito bom)

"Somos todos pedaços da história e da literatura".

Apesar de achar algumas partes confusas e mal organizadas, a adaptação é muito boa! Despertou em mim a vontade de (finalmente!) começar a ler o livro e conhecer mais profundamente esse universo tão maluco.

Não consigo imaginar minha vida sem livros. Então automaticamente, já me coloquei dentro da história, e fiquei imaginando qual seria a minha reação e as minhas ações em relação a tudo.

Vale muito a leitura!

"... Entende por que os livros são odiados e temidos? Eles revelam os poros no rosto da vida."
