Summary: Montag is a fireman, one of those who enforce the government's band on books by burning them. But certain circumstances awaken Montag to the evil of government controlled thought and the beauty that can be found in books.
Personal Thoughts: I really enjoyed this rendition of Bradbury's classic novel. Hamilton does a wonderful job of capturing the mood and tone of the novel. The young girl Clarisse is pictured as both knowledgeable and a little crazy all at the same time. Montag's transformation from happy fireman to a conflicted person to finally a person standing up for what he has decided to believe in is well portrayed throughout the images. I definitely think that this adaptation did well because of Bradbury's support and input into its creation.
