This book was written by Ray Bradbury
Guy Montag is a Fireman......not the kind that puts out fires, but the kind that lights things on fire.....books mainly. He makes friends with a young girl, who can see the beauty in things around her, and a professor, who knows about history about the world. As he learns more, Guy starts to wonder if what he has been taught all his life is actually true.
This book is one of the best I have ever read. It is so close to describing the world as it is today that it's a little scary. I would say that 14 would be a good age to read this book, because if you aren't old enough to understand the state of our society and country, this book wont really have an impact on you.
