Review

The New York Times Frightening in its implications... Mr. Bradbury's account of this insane world, which bears many alarming resemblances to our own, is fascinating. -- Review

1.0 out of 5 stars Numerous text errors in this print edition.
By Anonymous shopper on September 13, 2020
Of all books. I'm disappointed, Simon & Schuster. Of all books.

How am I supposed to read a book about a dystopian future where books are forbidden, deemed a danger to society, summarized, digested, and then silenced, and not trust you to publish an accurate copy of the author's original work?

I found two errors by the time I reached page 53, and only because they are glaringly obvious. Having not read the book before I have no idea how else the work has deviated from the author's source material.

Page 37 - "Master Ridley," said Montag a last.

A last? What is that? "A" should be "at."

This one is particularly egregious:

Page 53 - "School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored."

Gradually gradually? Really, really? There should only be one occurrence of the word.

I am disappointed, at best. It is now upon me to return this book and find an accurate replacement. The onus to find accurate text in published works should not be on the consumer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pages missing?
By Bubba Militia on August 15, 2018
Never read this before and have always wanted to. Got to this point and noticed the page numbers jumped from 18 to 47. Am I just dumb and this is how the book was written, or am I actually missing pages? Any help would be much appreciated.
