Guy Montag is a fireman. But in this dystopian world
a fireman makes fires, not stops them. They burn books, buildings and sometimes
people if the people refuse to leave. Because books are forbidden and people aren’t
supposed to think. Until one day Montag meets a young, strange girl named
Clarisse. Clarisse makes him start thinking and from there his whole life changes
because thinking is not a good thing to be doing in this world.
While I have read several classics there are
several more on my TBR and this is one of them. I can’t rate how well the
adaptation is since I haven’t read the book, but I do get the gist of what’s
going on. I’ve always wanted to read Fahrenheit
451, but I have to say that I’m not overly impressed with it. At least with
this version. Maybe it loses a lot in the adaptation or maybe it’s not for me,
but I’ll still give the book a try. Some day. Anyway, the story isn’t too bad
and while the illustrations are pretty good, especially since they really give
the feeling of a bleak and oppressing dystopian world, they aren’t really my
style. Fans of the book would probably enjoy this graphic novel though.
