Dear Fahrenheit 451

Dear Fahrenheit 451 is a book written by librarian Annie Spence.  It is a book written in letters.  They are addressed to each of the authors of books she has written.  It is a clever and unique way to write book reviews.

That is essentially what this book is, a book of book reviews.  The ones I had read were interesting especially if I agreed with how Spence felt about the book.  But the idea got stale fast.  If I had not read the book, I was not that excited by the letter.  If I agreed with her perspective on the book than there were a few times where I was shaking my head in agreement as I read her letter.  Some were funny, but some were not that well crafted.

Not a book I would recommend ...
