TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page.
- You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
- Please avoid spoilers!
I was then led through a concert of doors - smudgy revolving doors, glass doors, heavy wooden doors with frosted windows in them - and deposited in my "room", where I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling and started breathing really fast before I realized that there was really no point in doing that. But rather than describe the psychotic carousal of anger and deadened acceptance I experienced that night, here is a portrait of the Braddock County Juvenile Detention Center.
(Pg 10, The Patterns of Paper Monsters by Emma Rathbone)
Psychotic arousal of anger? What is the character mad about?...
Oh this sounds interesting. Is this a YA book?
That is a seriously intense excerpt!
This looks intriguing, I'll wait for your review.
Sound like it was a long journey for that guy in the juvenile detention center...great teaser!
Alice - Almost everything in his lief. You see, he comes from a broken family and to make things worse, he has an abusive stepfather.
Iliana - I checked the genre from the site but it didn't say it's a YA novel, so I take it as a general fiction.
Sandy - It sure is!
Violet - I'm enjoying the book so far as it's getting intense.
Julia - It sure seems so to Jacob (the guy's name) but I hope that there'd be a turn of events of this story.
A very intense and vivid teaser. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/10/teaser-tuesdays-voltaires-calligrapher.html
Wow, this is a great teaser! Love the writing, too! I'm definitely going to watch foir your review!
