Fahrenheit451-8

Entry of your choice
Why I picked this book.
I picked this book because it seemed interesting. Also I heard of the title many times that I wanted to start reading on the book. I did not know summary of the story when I first got it except for description of how the book is set up. The cover made me wonder why there was a burning book and why this book is famous. I guess maybe it is popular that is why I thought I heard of it before. Maybe there was a movie called Fahrenheit 451. I am not sure. It seemed like an adventurous book or something mysterious. Reading the blurb, I wondered why firemen were setting the fire instead of putting out the fire. There were so many questions that I wanted to read this book and answer my question. After I read this book, my questions were answered. I understand the moral of this book. When reading this book I didn’t know it would be science fictional. I got confused in some pages but understood that it was science fiction and not like a reality book. This book was interesting but was not my type of book of reading regularly. I guess it was a good experience to look at different books.

Me 2!! I also thought the story would be very adventurous and mysterious! The cover grabbed my attention and I just started reading it. But yeah... later I also figured that it was a science fiction book (which I really don't like) But still, I enjoyed the book. The book was QUITE interesting. Also, I think the author tells us an important message. The book really made me think once more about the value of books.

Well, the title of the book grabbed my attetnion. I can predict the story of the book from the title most of the time, but I could not for this one. So, I decided to read this book.
I do not like science fiction much, like you. I like but not science fiction. It is just confusing but it was quite interesting though.
I have found that there is movie called Fahrenheit451 bassed on this book

Yes. That's what people who read the book say about the book. It looks interesting when you hear the book title. It's makes you want to read this book. But actually, the book is not girl's type, i think. Right? It's good to try this kind of book like what you said. I want to try this kind of book that is filled with violence :) Good work!

Margaret you have a very honest approach to this post and I value the maturity with which you handled this new genre. Mrs.Mc
