blog response 4 - conflict

I personally think that the intro of the book im reading sucks. I think the author of "Missing Person", Sally Pfoutz, could of done a better job with the hook. When i first started reading it i wasnt hooked at all, i had to force myself to read the book(or i might have just been sleepy). But later in the story it became interesting because things that i could relate started popping up. One example being the main character Carrie is on a sports team, which i used to be, and has lost her mother, which i could relate to too. I think that if an author really wants to pull an audience in all they really have to do is say something that they can relate to.
