Book Beginnings on Friday (8)
Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by A Few More Pages.
I'm currently reading Incarceron by Catherine Fisher, and this is the opening sentence:
Finn had been flung on his face and chained to the stone slabs of the transitway.
How's that for attention grabber? We are thrown into the action right away here, and it sounds like Finn is in real trouble. It certainly made me want to keep reading to find out what was happening and who this poor guy was. I'm having fun reading this book.
What do you think of in medias res beginnings like this one? Do you prefer a different type of opening sentence?
