I finished Fahrenheit 451 in time for my book club, and I have to say, it was shorter than I remembered it being. I remembered odd things about the plot as well: a river near the end, and about the mechanical dog.
But I forgot a lot of the details, including the finer points of the social commentary. I especially like the portion near the middle where Guy Montag meets with Faber, the old man who loves books and has a number of them secreted away.
You know what? I actually don't really have a review for this book. I liked it. It has lots of social commentary about oppressive regimes and people as sheep. And it's a suspenseful story. Thumbs up.
