They cannot have something 'fun' happen because it's against the whole concept of the book. (I "wonder", because I refuse to read sad or scary books on the grounds that life itself provides us with all the sadness and fear we need.)<br />What I did notice is that most books have their character/s do/say something in the first few sentences that causes me to think "hmm, I wonder what that was all about?" And then I want to keep reading to find out. So I think the main thing is to get the reader curious in the first few sentences. <br />kitchentokitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865853512351936379noreply@blogger.com
