" The men lay gasping like fish laid out on the grass. They held to the earth as children hold to familiar things, no matter how cold or dead, no matter what has happened or will happen, their fingers were clawed into the dirt, and they were all shouting to keep their eardrums from bursting, to keep their sanity from bursting, mouths open, Montag shouting with them, a protest against the wind that ripped their faces and tore at their lips, making their noses bleed. "
This suspenseful mystery will keep you on the edge of your seats. Montag's job as a fireman is to burn books; but throughout this story, you will learn his struggle to keep his sanity as well as what goes along with his job. The author packs this book with loads of descriptive language, making every little detail important to understanding the real story. I recommend this book to very engaged readers who love a mystery to solve on their own, not one the book will solve for them. What could happen in a world with no books? The real question is are there still books...and if so, where are they? "It was a pleasure to burn."
