Mitchell Friedman
Stylistically irritating. And Montag, the main character, is an idiot. The main idea of the book, that the firemen burn books is just plain stupid. But the idea that a person becomes a book is brilliant. I liked Clarisse of course - and the writing around Clarisse. But otherwise I just found this book annoying.

I love the distopic novel so of course I loved this one. A visionary who saw a disturbing future for us Bradbury writes this cautionary tale with wisdom and control.
