#9: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury


Fahrenheit 451 starts off as almost a gripping sequel/spinoff novella to Orwell's work, but about halfway through chapter two (note: the whole book is three chapters long) it devolves into being a two-dimensional caricature...much like those newspaper comics that boomer artists make about millenials being mindless zombies incapable of critical thought or enjoying anything that isn't a TV show.

I was disappointed because the premise is actually pretty good, but unfortunately it just doesn't hold up after the first chapter... :(

(side note: as you can probably guess by the cover, F451 has been made into a movie starring the wonderful Michael B. Jordan...but the ratings are pretty bad!)
