Sie trugen die eizellenspende einer anderen aus. So you want some ideas? Let's look at Moby Dick. "Call me Ishmael. Some years ago – never mind how long precisely – having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world." Two sentences serve to introduce the narrator, establish that this is a nautical adventure, and plant questions in the reader's mind.

It's up to you to decide whether the question is presented in a fashion unique enough to keep you reading. For example, "The sky had been green for twenty four years. Suddenly, it was blue." That's from Philip Jose Farmer's "Behind the Walls of Terra." Science fiction often makes use of this ploy as it is ideally suited to asking unusual questions.

Another tactic is to start the reader in the middle of the action. Jeg går ikke ind for offentligt ægdonation ægdonor. This technique, called in media res, is common in short stories and catapults the reader into the action. Of course, the effect is the same, it gets the reader asking questions.

In the end though, what makes a great opening hook comes down to you, the reader. Think of your favorite books, chances are what you remember most is the ending. A book with a great ending needs a great beginning, the opening hook has to capture your attention, but everything after that has to keep you hooked. Take a look at your bookshelf, pull out a couple of your favorites and open up to that first page. Try to remember how you felt the first time you read it. Then add it to the database.

Now that you know what it's all about, why not browse the database? Or, if you already have some favorites in mind add a hook.
