    Best New Book And Best opening sentence

    One book gets the award for both these honours.

    "Vernon God Little"

    The finest debut I've ever read. The first Line should blow you away. I had tears of laughter streaming down my face by the middle of the first chapter.
    The atmosphere is kept through the entire book I couldn't put it down.

    Stunning!
    Bloody hell where did the time go!!!

    Thankyou, I'll look for it. And yes, that was a good opening line.
