This, just by itself, is going to make me buy the book :-)
It irks me no end when I come across articles that advise writers to grab the reader with the title, first line, first paragraph, or whatever else.
As a reader, the 'grab your audience' advice makes me feel like a sucker, and as a writer, it makes me feel like a cheat. I really wish people stop spreading this monstrosity of advice!!!
