how the book engaged me
Do you know the book The Tiger Rising? I did a post of my prediction to it and guess what? I started reading it. The very first couple of sentences made me want to read it. This is called a hook. A hook makes you want to read the book by giving you an emotion. Mines was curiosity. It made me think and ask Questions. One of mines was " who is Rob?". I wish all books gave me an emotion.

Tamara, I enjoyed reading your post and especially liked how you related the author's "hook" to giving you an "emotion". I agree with you and think that all well-written books are good at hooking their readers with an emotion. Well done!
