Personally, I like Brave New world over 451. I'm reading 451 now, and it's good and has a good story line and yeah...it's easier to understand. But i just like how in BNW the ways of the society are explained in the beginning. Also i liked how in BNW the society was so used to their lives that it was so out of the ordinary for a person to "rebel" agaisnt their ways. In 451 i feel like people get away with their indepence more. I hope that makes sense. In BNW i feel like its more intense and realistic for a society to be that way, rather than in 451 where firemen are being called to a house to burn books.
Also in 451, i feel like the only thing they do in their society is ban books. The author doesnt go into detail about other things the society is against. I know that Clarisse died for being a "thinker" and went against what the society was telling her, but i feel like 451 didn't explain what is right and wrong in their society.

451 was definitely easier t understand than BNW was, however it was less interesting and there wasn’t mush background detail given to the reader to understand what type of society Montag and the others live in. Obviously reading is not acceptable but what else are they allowed or not allowed to do, and who is the head person of this society that enforces all the laws? Is it just the firemen?
