Title: oh yeah, I remember that one.....
Review: Getting Hooked is an apt title for this book of "first lines" of well-known books written between the 1950's and now. In the category of "Why didn't someone think of this before," it is a very laudable effort at organizing famous books in various categories, and is bound to either rekindle the idea of re-reading your favorites from the past, or prompt you to read for the first time a book you are likely to enjoy because the first lines grab you--the yardstick by which most readers decide to read in the first place! For her effort Ms. Rendell- Smock deserves credit, and readers will surely benefit.
