After reading F451, I knew that the theme was a war against knowledge and that the only sure way to preserve knowledge was for someone to memorize the information, whether amusement reading, or factual history .. because books were being destroyed, and once the books were gone, anyone could say anything and get away with it, because there was no way to disprove nor verify.

I wonder why the author opened this story with that, "the world got it wrong" crap.

Maybe he's part of the book burning club ??

Do you think this book is suitable reading for 13 year old kids? I bought the book yesterday and have been thinking of putting it on my daughter’s summer reading list.
