"Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn ’em to ashes, then burn the ashes."
For Guy Montag, a career fireman for whom kerosene is perfume, this is not just an official slogan. It is a mantra, a duty, a way of life in a tightly monitored world where thinking is dangerous and books are forbidden.
In 1953, Ray Bradbury envisioned one of the world's most unforgettable dystopian futures, and in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the artist Tim Hamilton translates this frightening modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. As could only occur with Bradbury's full cooperation in this authorized adaptation, Hamilton has created a striking work of art that uniquely captures Montag's awakening to the evil of government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of philosophy, theology, and literature.
Including an original foreword by Ray Bradbury and fully depicting the brilliance and force of his canonic and beloved masterwork, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is an exceptional, haunting work of graphic literature.

Fahrenheit 451: The Graphic Novel reviewed by Users
nicely done If it seems a little pricey, keep in mind that this is the very-recently-released, authorized-by-Bradbury, graphic version of the original superb novel. The rights to publish it in this format do not come cheap right now, I'd imagine. I like the way it's delivered up here on the iphone, the interface is unobtrusive and the app is plenty responsive. (If I had to be whiny about anything, I'd wish to have the option to skip the four-screen navigational tutorial upon opening each time, but whatever). Nice job overall.

Best comics reader app This is the best comics reader app for the iPhone, and I've tested them all (Ave! Comics, ClickWheel, Comiczeal, Comixolog, iVerse, Panelfly, uClick).The best "feature" of this app is that the it doesn't get in the way of reading. The display adapts to different panel sizes and you can turn the iPhone between portrait and landscape modes for optimal viewing.You can also easily switch between viewing the whole page, as the artist intended it to be seen, and reading panel by panel. Zoom in seamlessly to view more details. If the talk bubbles are too small to read, just tap on a bubble and it expands to fill the screen. Tap again to continue reading. $9.99 seems a bit expensive compared to many iPhone apps. But with a classic story by Ray Bradbury and over 1500 panels to read, I felt that I got good value for my "investment".
