PostTry this Opener! (11/13)

How does this opener strike you?

Brad watched the fast moving water as the riverbanks narrowed. The thin prow of their boat bounced gently in the long waves, but the roaring froth they were coming up on would soon change that. He pointed to the long flow that ended in a point of foam as the long waves broke over each other.

"Just to the left, there's the slot!"

Rob called from the back. "Let's hit 'em!"

Brad dug in with his paddle and pulled for all he was worth. A white crest formed at the bow as all three of them grunted to speed their boat into the oncoming rapids.

"I'm not going to fall out, right?" Mindy asked.

"Just hold onto the sides when Brad says," Rob replied.



If you've never read this book, or had no clue where the opener comes from, then how does it strike you? If you had only this opener to go on, would you read more? Does it grab you and spur you to read on? Or does it leave you unenthusiastic?

If you read the book it came from, did you remember right away or did you have to look it up? What made it so memorable - or not so memorable?
