Oh awesome! How many wossy's would you rate it, and what about it did you enjoy?

id give it 4 out of 5 wossys. It is a solid peice of litterature but doesent leave the impact such as populars novels like The Holy Bible or the little engine that could. Will see decent play in the meta but gets countered by 1984

You think it gets countered by 1984? Honestly its more of a 50/50 or even a 45/55 if your stretching it, Fahrenheit holds up very well today, even better than that of 1984 in my honest opinion

though the political factors contained within 451 do hold up well and arguably better than those of 1984, 1984 had a [romantic element] which throws the matchup in its favor

Anyways, did you know that Ray didn't consider himself a science fiction author, but rather a fantasy writer?
