A true classic of censorship and defiance. Much better than either movie adaptation! Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to START fires, fueled by books. He loved his job. Then he meets a young girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid of books. Then he meets a professor who told him of a future in which people could think.
