Book Review By Allyson Struth
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

The struggle of a man to find meaning in a society that will not let him make decisions or wonder or comtemplate mystical ideas. A society that oppresses the indvidual reflective of Huxley's world. A inner struggle that fights between what feels is right and what a person is told is right.
