Slow Beginings

My biggest pet peeve is books with slow beginnings. Now I borrowed this book from my friend well actually Ali's friend it's called "Gathering Blue" by Lois Lowry and it has a very slow beginning. I wish you could just skip past the intro stuff and get straight to the action. For example In Harry Potter any time he spent at the Dursley's was boring. In any of the Twilight books If Bella and Edward aren't together was hard for me to read now if Jacob is there it I'm not boring but not as exciting as Edward but close. In "The DaVinci Code" I was board until Robert realized that he was a suspect that the book got interesting. I am glad that I finally or at least I think I'm past the boring introduction part of the book but only time will tell.

This book is supposedly the sequel to "The Giver" Which is high up on my Top ten book list. Speaking of my top ten book list it is as follows.

1. Eclipse By Stephenie Meyer
2. Twilight By Stephenie Meyer
3. New Moon By Stephenie Meyer (This is a new development)
4. The Giver By Lois Lowry
5. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban By JK Rowling
6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince By JK Rowling
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows By JK Rowling
8. Pride and Prescience By Carrie Bebris
9. The DaVinci Code By Dan Brown
10. North By Northanger By Carrie Bebris

It does surprise me that there at more than one I have a top ten book list and two that I it was hard to pick just 10 books because as most of you know I hate reading or I guess more accuately I used to hate reading but apparently it is a hidden passion of mine however I am a very very picky reader because if the slow beginning are to slow I will give up.

I hope you all enjoy my book list because I really enjoy it or should I enjoy each and every book on that list multiple times.
