Short story by Ray Bradbury: http://www.veddma.com/veddma/Veldt.htm
If you haven't read it, you definitely should. I read it in 8th grade and it's sort of haunted my dreams ever since. |

tl;dr
Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451. Therefore, he sucks  that book was awful.I like his short stories, though :D I read one in class and thought it was absurdly creative. |

It was alright, I guess. It was too easy to figure out. Anyone could tell they were going to kill the parents from like the first few paragraphs :/

lol it's not a mystery, so it doesn't matter that it was easy to figure out. it's more like a statement on society at the time.
