Ray Bradbury's classic remains relevant today as a cautionary allegory. For what it is, the book makes it's point with thought-provoking thoroughness. Bradbury's style is pithy, poignant, and often sardonic--more cerebral than action-oriented. I only regret he didn't do more with the character of Clarisse, even if she was more of a catalyst to the main character's change in perspective. 
 I do recommend reading the author's thoughts at the end of the book, as he breaks down his intent with clarity--offering almost-funny stories of those who've attempted to censor his book. Aside from being terribly ironic, they highlight the validity of his concerns. In his own way, Bradbury spoke out in defense of free thought--as well as the late, great authors who's works have already suffered the abject bias of censorship at the hands of one tyrannical minority or another.
