Jim's Review
🐛
As a bookworm, Jim takes the premise of this novel VERY personally. A world where they burn books? That's basically a horror story for worms everywhere. Bradbury wrote this in nine days on a rented typewriter and it shows — not because it's rough, but because it burns with raw urgency. The prose is gorgeous, almost poetic. Every bibliophile needs to burrow through this one at least once. Four worms.
