Favorite First Lines of Novels<br />
The first line of a book can be incredibly telling. Even the least prolific of<br />
readers have heard Charles Dickens’ famous verbiage, “It was the best of<br />
times, it was the worst of times.” Some authors use this line to introduce<br />
a major theme or allegory, some authors use the first line to hook in the<br />
reader by surprising them, and some authors even break the fourth wall<br />
in order to form a relationship with the reader. Regardless of style, the<br />
first line is undeniably setting up for the rest to come.<br />
