Currently on Goodreads, Fahrenheit 451 is ranked #11 on the Best Books of the 20th Century list. At the same time, it is ranked #23 on the Worst Books of All Time list. Go figure!
That seems pretty easy to explain, actually - its apparently one of those love it or hate it deals. I've never read it myself, so I do not have an opinion either way; but, what I would do, if I were interested, would be to sample a few reviews from both ends of the spectrum.
