I'm a big sci-fi fan, but... Man, I know I am a minority in this, but to me F451 was pretty bad. I had to really force myself to finish it despite being such a thin book. Everywhere I look I see almost everyone praises it like it's the best book ever written, deep, thoughtful, etc. And I'm sitting here thinking: Have I read the same book?

Edit: I wasn't forced to read the book (like in school), I wanted to read it to see why the hype. And got disappointed. While there were books from similar era with similar reviews that I really enjoyed - like e. g. Clarke's Rama or Pohl's Gateway.
