Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation by Tim Hamilton


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This classic was made for the graphic novel format! The story is set in a future where firemen start fires; they start fires to burn books. The government looks on books as evil; books carry too much knowledge which is dangerous to the government. When books are found, they are burned; often the owners disappear too. Guy Montag is a fireman who begins to question his job and the government’s desire for conformity. The book follows Guy’s search for answers to his government’s censorship and fear of books, ideas, and differences. Although an abbreviated retelling, Bradbury authorized it and writes the introduction, it misses nothing. A wonderful eye-catching pictorial work which will encourage you to read the original novel.
