Granger nodded. "They're faking. You threw them off at the river. They can't admit . They know they can hold thew their audience only so long. The show's got to have a snap ending, quick!! If they started searching the whole damn river it might take all night. So they're sniffing for a scapegoat to end things with a bang. Watch. They'll catch Montag in the next five minutes!"
"But how-"
"Watch"
The camera, hovering in the belly of a helicopter, now swung down at an empty street.
"See that?" Whispered Granger. "It'll be you; right up at the end of that street is our victim. See how our camera is coming in? Building the scene. Suspense. Long shot. Right now, some poor fellow is out for a walk. A rarity. AN odd one. Don't think the police don't know the habits of queer ducks like that, men who walk mornings for the hell of it, or for reasons of insomnia. Anyway, the police have had him charted for months, years. Never know when that sort of information might be handy. And today, It turns out, IT's very usable indeed. IT saves a face. Oh Go, look there!"
The men at the fire bent forward.
On the screen, a man turned a corner. The mechanical Hound rushed forward into the viewer, suddenly. The helicopter lights shot down a dozen brilliant pillars that built a cage about the man.
A voice cried, "There's Montag! The search is done.

This was my favorite part in the book. It's basically a good summary of how screwed up their entire government is. In this book it shows the entire decline of society. As people's attention spans get shorter and shorter, the use for things such as books dissipates, and gets outlawed. It really makes you appreciate proper  education. I think the author was trying to say something more than just telling a simple story. It's like he's trying to send a message. You shouldn't burn books to fit your lifestyle. Burning books in a figurative sense, but it's still just as applicable to daily life as it is in this. There's something pure and magic about the written word that sometimes shouldn't be tampered with.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a good read. It requires focus, and often makes you second guess, because it feels like the words were written in a hurry, like spitting pure thoughts onto a page. Even though you might need to second guess yourself a couple times and do a double-take, the language is great. Ray Bradbury is an amazing writer, so if you haven't read this book then it is a must have before you die.
