Great opening lines are known among writers as "grabbers."
Beause a reader, once hooked, hungers for more words.
I was reminded of this as I read the opener of the book Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and the Marriage of the Century: "I am forever punished by the gods for being given the fire and trying to put it out. The fire, of course, is you."
Tell me you wouldn't want to read more.
I did.
