Harlan Ellison doesn't pull punches. His stories smack you in the face, then whisper secrets when you're not looking. I laughed, got goosebumps, and even yelled at the book—once. It's wild and worth your time.

Mortal Engines throws cities on wheels and says, ‘let’s race!’ It’s weird, fun, and sometimes confusing, but I loved the wild ride. Just don’t trust anyone in this book—especially if they have an airship.

Fahrenheit 451 Review

Fahrenheit 451 keeps readers warm with its fiery exploration of censorship and freedom. Bradbury's poetic prose paints a vivid dystopian world, but beware of its occasional melodramatic moments. A must-read for both book lovers and pyromaniacs!
