Bradbury on Screen
If you're looking for a new study guide to Fahrenheit 451, you might want to consider this lively new effort from 60secondrecap.com. In ten bitesize video chunks, you will receive an insight into Montag's world.

Through 60second Recap™ video albums, we seek to help teens engage with the best books out there ... not just to help them get better grades, but to help them build better lives."
