Part 1. Immediately it’s good, and I can see why this is assigned reading in so many high schools (but for some reason, not mine): TONS of symbolism and themes to pick up on.
So much happens in part one, with no chapters to give you a break in the main character’s mental breakdown/growth.

As Montag flees the city, he jumps in the river. When he exits the river he is reborn into the wilderness as a free man, a criminal, a holder of knowledge and a keeper of words. I love the metaphor of him being baptized and then returning to the wilderness as an animal, especially in juxtaposition to the “clean” city.

Part 2. I loved the conversation between Montag and Faber and Montag thinking critically about whether or not his mindset change is him thinking for himself or just listening to the other side, and Faber saying he is wise simply for thinking about that.
Saved a couple quotes from this part about what happens when we unroot ourselves from the earth.
Great cliffhanger.
