Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Tim Robbins reads the $#@% out of Fahrenheit 451
Revisado: 08-27-15
Please forgive the title but I couldn't put it any other way. To begin, Fahrenheit 451 is a classic that I'm sure most of us have read at some point in our lives. It is a good story that does a great job of putting society under the microscope like only the best of the classics can. I believe it to be a must read for anyone living in today's world of Censorship, Social Justice Warriors, and runaway Political Correctness.
With all of that being said, I really wanted to write this review regarding Tim Robbins reading of this book. His narration made me feel like I was reading F451 again for the first time. It. Was. Fantastic! The characters and story I remember from past readings of this novel pale in comparison to what Robbins brought to life here. So whether you are looking to experience F451 for the first time, or you are looking to revisit an old adventure all over again, I HIGHLY recommend this reading by Tim Robbins.

Zed is an agent from the future. A time when the world's problems have been solved. No hunger. No war. No despair. His mission is to keep it that way. Even if it means ensuring every cataclysm throughout history runs its course-especially The Great Conflagration, an imminent disaster in our own time that Zed has been ordered to protect at all costs.

Well Written Propaganda Piece
Revisado: 04-24-14
Warning: Slightly "political" opinion ahead.
The Revisionists is a well written and imaginative story. Thomas Mullen does a great job creating developed and relatable characters. However, I can't help but notice that the whole thing feels like a pro-intelligence and spying community propaganda piece. It does a good job of trying to show the vulnerabilities of the CIA, NSA, FBI branches but it seems to pretend that their worst mistakes are either caused by well-meant faults or the actions of a single bad person or two. And I think all the recent real world revelations of illegal spying and torture and more show that to be pretty blatantly false. They then go on to show how the world is full of evil men and countries and that the next big war to end the world is just around the corner if we don't allow these branches to operate the way they do. The propaganda is subtle and well written but its definitely there.
My advice is to skip it and read something else that isn't trying so hard to convince you that the carnivorous monsters in your closet really have the best intentions at heart.
