Guy Montag, a fireman of the future, is responsible for starting fires, not stopping them. In his society, books have been banned - all books, save the firemen's own rule books, which contain the ominous order: "Burn everything." Books are only filled with confusing and contradictory ideas, and it is more important to have fun and to be entertained.
He finds pleasure in his job until one autumn evening when a teenage neighbor, Clarisse McClellan, asks him a simple, haunting question: "Are you happy?" When an old woman refuses to leave her books and dies in the flames, he wonders, what in her books inspires such passion? He determines to discover it for himself, though his rebellion, and his confusion, may cost him his life.

Deep thinking/analysis
This was the first book study guide I’ve used from Progeny, and it is excellent. It goes far beyond the “right there” questions that can be found in the text. The Biblical tie-ins and analysis questions are rigorous and thought-provoking, and the additional writing and discussion activities are very interesting.
