Have you ever read the opening pages of a book, and been amazed by the amount of thought the author put into them?
A few (very few) books I've read make such an impact in the beginning; it's really clear that the author kept going back and polishing the introduction until it was perfect.
***What books/poems stunned you right from the first sentence?***
A few of mine:
The Picture of Dorian Grey (Oscar Wilde)
A Tale of Two Cities (Charles Dickens)
Kushiel's Dart (Jacqueline Carey)
White Fang (Jack London)
The Little Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
Emergence (David Palmer)
