Hooked: Write Fiction That Grabs Readers at Page One & Never Lets Them Go by Les Edgerton

informative

2.5

There is some good advice in here, but man do you have to hunt for it. Super repetitive, lots of bad to mediocre examples that are hailed as great, plot summaries for movies and books seemingly just to pad the page count, and what at times felt like an advertisement for the author's own stories.

I'd recommend at least the beginning chapters that break down the ten components of an opening scene and the last few, which had much better examples and other agents/editors discussing what they like to see.
