    Great job!

  • This was so brilliant! You nailed this one!

  • Well done, Dana!

  • Didn't really understand Fahrenheit 451 when I read it in high school, but reading the synopsis now it makes more sense than ever. The plot also reminded me of the saying I read last year that true democracy gives 51% of the people the right to pee in the cornflakes of 49%of the people.

    Way to summarize the ideas of such a great book, and subject so dear to our hearts, in 17 syllables. Nice!
