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.

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
