Review of book, Hooked by Les Edgerton

I read Hooked - write fiction that grabs readers at page one and never lets them go by Les Edgerton this year.  This is a book about beginnings, a book for writers that they may improve their first sentence, and initial chapters.  I loved the book ... it was written in an easy style with lots of examples, and ideas, in an effortless banter that keeps you reading.  Although, it seems to be like a textbook in some ways, it is never boring.  I will be referencing this book for a long time.

You can find the book at Amazon.ca and Amazon.com.
