This is a lovely yet scary and gripping dystopian book about a world where books are banned and there are departments dedicated to burning them. And in such a world, a fireman, 'thinks' and turns hostile only to find revel in the act, meeting multiple interesting characters on the way. I personally liked Faber, the old English professor, and the whole episode involving humanity's desperate attempt to preserve books in the form of human libraries. It is a classic in the truest sense with high-quality narrative and mind boggling ideas - ideas so enchanting that I had to use post-its to mark them in the book. 
 I will definitely recommend it to book-lovers, sci-fi readers and dystopian enthusiasts.
