Fahrenheit 451: First Impressions

          After reading the first 30 pages of Fahrenheit 451, I think I can give an honest opinion on my first impressions of the story. The story gets increasingly better as it goes on. It leaves you wondering what will happen to Guy as a fireman, how Guy's and Clarisse's friendship will develop, and what the war that's occurring is about. I felt nostalgic after the scene with the mechanical hound because it took me to a time in my childhood where I wanted to mechanical animals to be a real thing. I've also been surprised that the story was written over 60 years ago yet it predicts modern inventions. Overall, I've enjoyed the book so far.
