Book Beginnings on Friday

 

  Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Becky at Page Turners. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading. If you like, share with everyone why you do, or do not, like the sentence.

From Almost Dead by Assaf Gavron:

I climbed aboard the Little No. 5 as I did every morning on my way to work.

A simple sentence, yet in my opinion appropriate given the tone of the rest of the book.

  6. It is a great opening. We know that the character is a person of routine from it. I like it. I hope you are enjoying the book
