Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is a dytopian novel that takes place 2300's. In the novel Bradbury had many devices that were similar to modern day devices. Such as seashell radios, and wall screens. He also had a exaggerated version of the society that we have today where nobody really interacts with each other, virtual reality is reality for some people, and nobody reads books. I didn't really expect to like this book but it was definately the best book we have read in honors english so far. I'm also really looking forward to the remake of 1966 movie version of this book. I know it will be amazing and I also know it will fit in great with what is popular these days. Hopefully they will have a good cast and a big enough budget to make it as good as it has the potential to be. Overall, this was an amazing book with a really eye opening message.

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is an intriguing novel. It's incredible how frighteningly accurate this story is to modern day technology. I'm constantly curious of how the author created all these things (seashell radios, fast cars, large billboards, T.V. walls) from his mind, but here they are to this day. Things like that aren't very likely to be coincidental. It's fascinating how Ray Bradbury seemed to almost know these things would happen. Fahrenheit 451 isn't his first book but certainly his best.

The novel Fahrenheit 451 was an excellent book. Throughout the novel, I kept realizing just how detailed the book was. Ray Bradbury wrote many books in his time, bringing each book into the world one word at a time. His first book, Dark Carnival, started his works off, and they grew in number. Something that I want to ask Ray Bradbury is; "What did you mean, in the interview, about the characters coming to you, and telling the story?". What inspired you to write a book about the loss of books, and where did the ideas for the technology (walls) come from?

Ray Bradbury grew up loving science fiction. By 1992 he had written 28 books. His first book was a bunch of short stories called Dark Carnival. Farenheit 451 is one of his most favored books. Ray tells a story of how how he payed rent every week to use a typewriter at UCLA. Because his ofice space at home would be a distraction. Bradbury tells a story of him and his friend walking down the street when a police officer pulled them over for no reason. This exprience inspired him about the society he should put in his book, Farenheit 451. Ray Bradbury says that in is books the charecters come to him.

Visit the link at the bottom of the page to see my books that I have published partially online! They are not proof read and have many typos I am sure, but I hope some of you will read and enjoy the work of myself, Savannah Utley, AKA:
R. E. Remkes.

Also, a note to readers. Dark Temptation is only about half of the way done (being the longest and most complete of my novels) and I went ahead and began the sequel Dark Fayte already, so if you read it and find yourself confused, don't worry you are not alone, and you will be let in on the BIG EVENT when I finish the first novel. Thank you, and enjoy! :D
