Here are books that force the reader to stay glued to the pages, to move forward, to carry the novel with him everywhere, to not be able to do without it. Books like this have happened to me, some were a masterpiece, some were not, but in any case I had to continue reading to find out how the chapter and then the whole story ended. What's wrong with those novels? I wanted to create a kind of recipe to keep readers in tension and force them not to separate from the story they are reading. This recipe isn't mine, I just got it by reading and discovering that there were these ingredients in those novels. The 1st chapter is the key I always repeat it because I am 100% convinced of it. Before buying a book I read the incipit.
There are incipits that make me distance myself from books, maybe it's the writer's style - everyone has their own tastes - maybe it's the scene that the author chose as the beginning of his story. It's different if I know the author well. If I open a novel by Salgari - who used different incipits - I know what I will expect from that story, so in that case, if Phone Number Data the incipit isn't exactly to my liking, I continue reading anyway. The first chapter, however, in my opinion is the first weapon the writer has to capture his readers. In the first chapter I expect: to understand more or less what story I'm reading that something big will happen soon that the life of one or more characters changes drastically that there are elements of mystery that will be revealed little by little.
Not necessarily in this order and not necessarily all of these elements. Of course, it also depends on the kind of story we are reading. For the most part I read fantasy , or even thrillers, and in those cases something necessarily happens and soon. In a classic it is more difficult, as well as in the mainstream. And in those cases, how do I keep the reader in tension? How do I convince him to read the second chapter? I have a strong story at my disposal - I at least have to invent it - and a writing style that would make even someone who hates reading read. The suspense at the end of each chapter It's something I always appreciate, in every story it's in.
