  1. I love the first lines of The Knife of Never Letting Go. I don't have it with me right now, but it's awesome :)

    great post!
    I feel that first lines should set the tone for the book.

  2. Hi Audrey!
    I've wanted to read that book for a long time! I'm going to have to see if I can read the excerpt for it now and catch those first lines!

    Yes, after you pick a book up to see if you like it, those first few lines you read are what's going to make you keep reading, or put it down.

    Thanks for sharing!
