Hooked by Les Edgerton is a how-to book on writing. His main thrust is the importance of hooking the reader with the first—or first few—sentence(s). It takes Mr. Edgerton over 200 pages to explain his point, and I believe, he could have done it in a lot less. Regardless, several pages are dog-eared. Relax. If I remember right, most of them are points I need to remember or books/short stories he interested me in reading. They're not part of the review.

I was right. Not even one dog-eared page for you guys.
