This was read very sporadically by me, but the gravity of the book's themes and ideas still grounded me. What I liked most was the vivid description, and how nature really enriched the metaphors and synonyms of the novel.

Montag's awakening to consciousness by Clarisse's child curiousity was a great impetus for the plot. Beatty was also a great antagonist, that scene with him facing off against Montag was a particular strength.
