Fahrenheit 451 - Writing Style

This is probably a bit strange, but I really love analyzing the the author's writing style.  For example, a good amount of authors utilize similes and adjectives, which is a great technique for creating a vivid picture in the reader's mind throughout the whole story.  In a reader's head, many pictures move through as they read, and using these techniques help shape those pictures.  Ray Bradbury is one of the authors who uses those very same ideas to put a clear picture in your mind. 
I noticed that Bradbury tends to use quite a few metaphors when writing.  Being my honest self, I have to say the the metaphors confused me occasionally.  Leading up to Montag's poetry reading to Mildred's friends, the book says “he was all fire,” and “they sat in the middle of an empty dessert (Bradbury 99).” Here we see two metaphors in only one sentence alone.  When Montag is able to describe the machine that pumped out Millie’s stomach, he thinks it to be “a hungry snake (Bradbury 44).” Clarisse’s face is “fragile milk crystal with a soft and constant light in it (Bradbury 7).”  The metaphors are useful because they have the ability to create a solid relation in the reader.  A simile would not have the same effect, in my opinion.  
I love Bradbury's use of adjectives throughout the novel.  One particular part that caught my eye when reading is when Montag meets Clarisse for the first time, and he is describing her.  “It was a look, almost, of pale surprise; the dark eyes were so fixed to the world that no move escaped them. Her dress was white and it whispered. (Bradbury 5).”  The words feel very dreamy to me.  The passage shows extremely great use of adjectives.  Reading the poetry to Millie's friends, Bradbury describes his speaking.  “Then he began to read in a low, stumbling voice that grew firmer as he progressed from line to line, and his voice went out across the desert, into the whiteness, and around the three sitting women there in the great hot emptiness (Bradbury 99).”  This gives a very clear feeling of the exact atmosphere in the room through his reading.
