If you love dystopian classics this is a good book for you. It's about a world where the technology and mass media and the government terrorise intellectuals or anyone reading/possessing books. Any involvement with books is considered a crime and your free will, curiosity and intellectual liberation is taken away and replaced by controlled media. 

It's a very short read and the story is fast paced. Totally worth the read. The passages, dialogues are written in prose format at some places like in most of of the classics which was kind of off putting for me because it happened once in a while in tensed situations. However overall it was a easy read with an interesting plotline different from what I usually read.
