"Fahrenheit 451"

I finished this book in less than five days.  When I was reading it I would stop periodically but after a short amount of time I would come back to it.  Even when I wasn't reading it the book would prey upon my thoughts.  Fahrenheit 451 would be a great book for group discussions; yet you would have to meet every other day. lol  Before I explain what this book is about I have to tell you that it had a lot of cursing.  Also they would just say God's name just to say it and would very badly use it in vain.  Especially at the end three pages, although it was all throughout it. :P  To the book review.  Fahrenheit 451 is the degree at which book paper burns...  In this world Guy Montag(always referred to as Montag) is a fireman whose job it is to burn books.  All firemens job is to burn books. All homes are fire proof.  Curiosity compels Montag to take a book here or there when no one is looking.  As the pressures of life: his wife trying to commit suicide, watching a lady burn to death, meeting Clarisse who makes him think, and all the other stresses that crowd around him, he begins to search for answers within the pages.  TV is the way everyone spends their day, having 'familys' and conversations with no one.  In this world if you wanted to talk to someone you were getting the wrong kind of socializing.   People got rid of books because they didn't want people to be smarter than they and the majority didn't want to have to read or expand their minds.  Montag kind of loses it and starts reading to some friend's of his wife, who inevitably call the fire department.  Also he kills the fire chief and is on the run from the police.  Millions of people are able to watch this spectacle on the TV.  When Montag loses them, they hunt down and kill a different man because they can't have the public know.  Montag becomes a hobo along with others who keep the books in their mind.   Please realize that I am leaving quit a bit out.  This line in the book kind of freaked me out...
