آخر ساعة في التسجيل هي انترفيو معاه... على قد ما عجبتني الرواية حبيتها أكتر وأكتر بعد ما سمعت المقابله دي
بيحكي فيها ازاي سبق عصره وفكر في كل الإختراعات اللي ما بقت جزء من حياتنا غير من سنين قليله بس
وإزاي اختار الشخصيات و اساميهم.... وأجزاء كان يتمنى تكون موجوده في الروايه
وأهمية الكتب في حياته و حياتنا
وتأثره بالكاتب "الدوس هكسلي" صاحب رواية Brave New World
اللي تشبه كتير للروايه دي و كمان 1984

I will always be amazed whenever I read a science-fiction classic such as this, and find that the author actually had grasped a figment of truth in his predictions. To have such a clear understand of where the world is heading, is equally fascinating and terrifying.

In Bradbury's future books are being burned; and the only stimulation there is left on the planet is one of stupid interactive soap operas. A future without books is almost too sad to bear - and the effect it has on people is inevitab ...more

Genlæsning januar 2023: Selv ved anden læsning næsten 10 år senere er jeg stadig ikke helt oppe at køre over denne dystopiske klassiker som er nært beslægtet med "1984" og Huxleys "Fagre Nye Verden" både i form og indhold. Alt er gråt, monotont, koldt og følelsesløst som i ethvert totalitært regime, (hvilket jo også er hensigten!) men både sproget og bogen virker meget forældet, og den noget sjuskede danske oversættelse bidrager ikke positivt til helhedsindtrykket. ...more

But I guess my biggest problem was the lack of descriptions - I wanted to know more details about the dystopian society and the protagonist. I kept comparing it to 1984 (wh ...more

Shelves: not-owned, 1-star, 2005, dystopian

I don't know whether to give this one a 1 or a 2, because I was really disappointed by it, but I can see why some people might like it. The writing style wasn't really my cup of tea though.

A funny aside - 451F is supposed to be the temperature at which paper self-ignites. Unfortunately Ray Bradbury didn't do his research properly - paper self-ignites at 451C - 842F. ...more
