Summary:

In this fantastic book, a man named Guy Montag lives in a futuristic version of the United States. He is a fireman, but in the future all buildings are fire-proof, so he burns books for a living. It is illegal to own and read books, and people with college degrees are forced to live as hobos. Montag does not have any problem with this, until a young girl comes up to him and asks, “Are you happy?” After thinking hard about it, Montag suddenly does the unthinkable during a routine book burning, causing his life to change forever. However, he also finds a new meaning in life. I give this excellent book five fish.
