Teaser Tuesday! (5)

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB over @ Should be Reading. Check out her blog to get the rules! There's no way I can just share two lines, so most of these will probably more like paragraphs.

This week's teaser is from Inkheart by Cornelia Funke! I've only read a few chapters, so this teaser will be a surprise for us all. :)

"Well, well, who do we have here?" he asked in a menacingly soft voice, his fingers around Pippo's thin little neck. "What do you say to that, Flatnose? She doesn't have time to play." Basta pushed Meggie roughly aside and came through the door with Pippo, followed, of course by Flatnose, whose broad shoulders would hardly fit through the doorway.

-pg. 294 US Paperback

The first question this teaser raises for me is: 'Who in the hell is this Flatnose fellow?' Followed by: 'Who in the hell is this Pippo fellow?' Followed then by: 'Who in the hell is this Basta fellow?' Which is followed by: 'How does Cornelia Funke come up with these names?' And finally: 'Well, her name is Cornelia Funke...'

Hmmm. This sounds like a quirky novel, the tone kind of reminds me of A Series of Unfortunate Events:)

I like it.

My aunt gave me the first two books in this series and I started reading Inkheart the other day and couldn't get past the first couple pages.

Well since I can't remember anything about this, your teaser's got me thinking of re-reading this book again.

Yes, those names are very cool, I like the sound of Pippo (for a pet?) and the cover of the book very appealing...

Here's my teaser this week from The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

Great teaser; I'm surprised I like it since I remember really disliking the book in the end (it was a long time ago!).

I've read the book but I personally just okay with it. However, Inkspell is way better ;p

I'm giggling at your teaser commentary. Yeah, I was thinking the same things.

Mine's from Devil to Pay, a book I wrote.
