A new recording of Ray Bradbury’s timeless classic Fahrenheit 451 narrated by Penn Badgley!

Nearly seventy years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.

Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.

Unfortunately this is as meaningful and appropriate today as 75 years ago. Thoughtful and hard to put down.

Amazing this was written almost 75 years ago; prophetic

My headline says it all! I think Ray Bradbury would be VERY pleased with Penn's audio performance of "Fahrenheit 451."
By far my favorite Audible selection thus far.

Penn Badgley is the best Audible narrator EVER!

Awesome short read. Very thought provoking. I loved it! It celebrates the individual. I lost my father years ago and this really reminded me of why I miss him so much.

Celebration of the individual!

This book is a MASTERPIECE. If you haven't read it yet, just stop doing anything you are doing now and go get it. Read it. Then don't burn it, but instead read it again.

I can't comprehend how I haven't stumbled upon this book in my school years despite it being written in 1953. Everyone should read it. It should be a required reading.

I have listened to it in an audiobook format and the narration was perfect! I have to read it again in text format to enjoy all the details and nuances I've missed while not paying attention.
I loved Ray Bradbury’s immersive and sometimes a very enjoyably suggestive writing style.

A masterpiece!

A masterpiece thematically with many symbols to track & ponder: fire/water; hands; various colors; black as destroyer & life giver; sterility/fertility; machine vs natural; serpents; live dead things, dead live things. & more. Read it; then read it again.

Should be required reading

I wish this was a series as I have so many questions and wonders on what happens now? It was a great read that had me think a lot within myself about the way society currently lives. I love how complicated the characters are and even the ones who are evil made me wonder the most about them. I think this is a great depiction of how complicated humans are. As well as how important reading is.
Amazing read! Definitely recommend

Beautiful Book that Shows a Value of a Book
