An example of hookin g the reader in my book "In Darkness" is in the pages through pages 40 and 41."We shared the same soul so when she was gone I became half a person. I would like you to remember this, so that you don't judge me later. Remember :even now ,as I lie in this ruined hospital , I am only one half of a life, one half of a soul,I know this. This is why I have done the things I have done." In this example he talks about the desicions he made that would affect him in the future and  what he had to think  about during his desicions if it would help him or his family  or hurt them.. This really hooked me because  the author used really good words  to say what the character was saying in my example above. There was a lot of hookings in the book there was always so,etching going on that you had to just keep reading.
