Re: Bookworms:What are the best first lines you've read?

I have just been reading the reviews of the books you recommended ...and there are some definite possibilities there for me to try.

Didn't like Jeanette Winterson - Oranges are not the only fruit....it struck me a being a 'mardy' write. I think I only really read it because it was set in Accrington......I was not impressed and can't bring myself to read anything else written by this woman(you never get a second chance to make a first impression).....I know, I should be more forgiving!
