This book is well written but there are aspects of it I really don't like. I would even recommend it, but mostly to see if people can spot the things I don't like about it. My opinion of this book has changed along with my rating of it several times since I read it. 
 One thing is for sure though, it cemented my negative opinion of Ray Bradbury. This book comes across as a showcase for forms of culture that he likes and an attack on forms of technology and culture he doesn't like. For the most part he doesn't even acknowledge the things that he attacks are forms of culture. So in the novel the culture Bradbury likes is being persecuted while at the same time he's persecuting forms of culture he doesn't like and it comes across as very hypocritical and close minded to me. 
 This is all very sad to me because I grew up watching shows and reading books Bradbury wrote and I considered myself a fan. But after reading this and some of the interviews that have come out with him in recent years openly trashing forms of technology and culture he doesn't like, it's enough for me to say I'm not a fan anymore. 
 I don't think any of this would bother me if I hadn't known some very close minded people over the years. The type of people who refuse to believe that something is a form of culture just because they don't like it. Anyway it seems like this has become more of a rant than a review so I'll just leave it at that.
