The first line can make or break a reader’s interest. Just how well did the author pull you in to the story with their first sentence? To participate in this weekly book meme is extremely easy.

  • Grab the book you are currently reading and open to the first page.
  • Write down the first sentence in the first paragraph.
  • Create a blog post with this information. (Make sure to include the title & author of the book you are using. Even an ISBN helps!)
  • Did this first sentence help draw you into the story? Why or why not?
  • Come back to this blog post, hosted on WellReadReviews.com and add your comment to the post.

That’s it :)

Here is my Friday Firsts: Delirium by Lauren Oliver (ISBN: 978-0061726828) 448 pages.

The most dangerous sicknesses are those that make us believe we are well.

Ooh — what?! That was my first thought when reading this. I believe it’s an authors job to hook you from the very first sentance and Lauren Oliver may just have done that. It made me wonder — what illness so horrible makes you believe you are well?

Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon.com)

There was a time when love was the most important thing in the world. People would go to the end of the earth to find it. They would tell lies for it. Even kill for it. Then, at last, they found the cure. Now, everything is different. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Haloway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. But then, with only ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable.

    Oooo — I like that sentence! Unfortunately, I’m not reading any fiction at the moment (sniff . . .) but am working my way through a baby name book.

    It wasn’t the first sentence that caught my eye but the cover’s promise of having a million and one baby names.
