"It did not stand to reason that a shark would find you in the first quarter hour you were in the water. Statistically it would have been a fluke, a crazy ironic coincidence, like lightning burning a Z in Zorro's shoulder blade, or a boat impaling itself on a rusty engine part." (30)

Lovely prose and I like the wit, did a shark come upon this person? My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/08/teaser-tuesdays-i-curse-the-river-of-time.html
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the book, but I really liked the teaser. I'm curious to see what situation this quote is referring to. I might have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

You'd have to be unlucky no matter how long you had been in the water!
ReplyDeleteMy teaser this week is quite action packed. It's from Frostbitten by Kelly Armstrong.
That is pretty unlikely. :P
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser!
Nice teaser! Happy reading. Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
ReplyDeleteOh, very curious excerpt! Love the book's title, too (from one "Hippie chick") lol.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser:
Click on my "hippie" name for the link.
I always liked to see Zorro burn his Z into something in the movie since I felt it meant he'd be moving onto something better next. So, this makes me think of what happens next here. An engrossing teaser!
ReplyDeleteSharks, eh? Scary stuff. Nice teaser!
