The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice.The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and find any sentence or a few ( no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Please join Rose City Reader every Friday to share the first sentence or so of the book you are reading along with you initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.
Please include the title of the book and the author’s name.
~~~Next up on the list is Fountain Society by Wes Craven.
Wes Craven also directed Scream and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Will Fountain Society scare your pants off?
The hardcover is super cool.
The man’s head is three dimensional, making it super creepy.
MY FRIDAY 56
“Maybe not,” said the banker. “You’ll have a club in your hands then and you’ll be twice as dangerous.”

MY BOOK BEGINNINGS
The cell held fifteen men. It was ten by twelve and stank of sweat, filth and fear. The only amenity offered was a hole in the center of the concrete floor which served as a toilet.
Why they are in the cell, I can’t tell ya.
GOODREADS BLURB
The brilliant Dr. Peter Jance, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, is only weeks away from succumbing to cancer. But a top-secret government organization known as the Fountain Society gives Peter a new lease on life by transplanting his brain into the body of his much younger clone. When the brand-new Peter becomes disgusted with the immorality of the project and wants out, he finds himself on the run for his very life.

Happy reading, Stormi.
Hmm. I’m not sure if I read this one. I’ve read most of his. Have to check my shelves. I know I always used to buy his in hardcover.
The hard cover has a wicked cool 3D design.
The story described in the synopsis appeals to me, but it may be a little too gritty for me. I like to escape in my books!
My Friday post features THE HURRICANE SISTERS.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell my the synopsis. His books definitely catch your attention.
I’m not really diggin’ the cover, but the snippets sound good! Happy weekend!
The top one is super creepy to me, but that is because I have it on my shelf. It moves. LOL
I’ve never read anything by Wes Craven – I do find the blurb interesting though. The first sentence is very interesting considering what the blurb says the book is about. I think I like the first cover the best – it’s kinda creepy and is just right for the blurb. Here’s my Friday meme
Ok, I need to add this to my tbr. 🙂
