Book Beginnings
Hey guys welcome to Book Beginnings a meme hosted by Rose CityReader where you post the first sentence of your current read and your thoughts
on that sentence.
“It was a humid night in August, and the river
trickled past us as if most of the water had disintegrated during the previous
months. It skimmed over the rocks, and I hesitated to add to the collection by
tossing pebbles across the already waning surface. The darkness was enough.”
These first few sentences don’t tell much about the story but
they show off Shannon Thompson’s amazing and descriptive writing style. Her
writing style is so descriptive and it just makes me excited to get into the
story! As of now, I’m almost done with Seconds before Sunrise so expect a
review of that soon!

Meagan!
This catches my attention for the mood rather than the setting. I am intrigued by why the water is low, but more about the character and why the darkness was enough. What did the darkness give to the character?
ReplyDeleteInteresting opening. I wonder why the author used "disintegrated" instead of "evaporated." I'm curious.
