First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros - Big Ray; Michael Kimball

Every Tuesday I host First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where I share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book I am reading or thinking about reading soon.

Big Ray; Michael Kimball
Bloomsbury - 2012

"My father probably died on January 28, 2005, but I wouldn't know he was dead until a few days later when my sister called to tell me.  My father lived alone and nobody else knew he was already dead either.

**

January 29, 2005, would have been my mother and father's forty-fifth wedding anniversary--if my father hadn't died the day before, if my mother hadn't divorced him ten years before that."

What do you think? Keep Reading?

    The intro raises questions in the reader's mind that makes me think everyone has to keep reading. I'm curious.

    I like this opening, the fixation with the dates that are then instantly qualified - I'd keep turning those pages!

    Interesting, but it sounds like it could be a sad read.

    I think I would like to see your review of it before I picked it up. I'm such a cheerful Charlie lately I need up beat from the beginning :)
