“Fahrenheit 451” is a classic of contemporary American literature, and is one of the most widely read and popular novels of all time.
Written by the late great Ray Bradbury (author of some of favourite reads including “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and “The Halloween Tree”), this story warns of a society where original thought and ideas are deemed dangerous, reading obsolete, and knowledge is kept under wraps.

I’ve been looking to get this film at a good price but have not found it yet. I had read the book in high school and loved it – my teacher actually let me do a report on this rather than the book everyone in the class was reading.
