Fahrenheit 451 Part 1 Reflection

So this is my weekly reflection that I had after reading the first part of Fahrenheit 451. I like the book, and it has a good plot and is interesting but the style of the book just really isn't what I am interested in. I absolutely love the plot about a person with an internal conflict about burning books and ends up with a dilemma after he starts taking books but how it is written just doesn't draw me into the book. I like books that are more realistic or just have less figurative language. I am not used to reading books filled with figurative language. A few similes, a few metaphors, and a few personifications are okay but when a whole page is filled with figurative language, I get bored and just don't get as attracted to the book as I should be. Don't get me wrong, I like the book as in the plot, setting, details, characters, but the deeper meaning or just the style of the book is way off of mine and I just can't think about what I am reading, therefore making me bored by it.
