I read Looking for Alaska and the part that really hooked me into reading was when Pudge first went to boarding school and met Alaska. You automatically know right away that she is going to be important to the story because her name is part of the title. She is a very important character and is very interesting. Everything she does is different and you want to know why she does it. This is also a hooker for the intended audiences because you want to know how Pudge and Alaska's friendship starts because telling from the title they have some type of connection. I think the author put the hooker a couple pages into the book so you could just start off getting background knowledge of Pudge first.
Passage:
He knocked once, louldly. Through the door, a voice screamed, "Oh my God come in you short little man because I have the best story."
We walked in. I turned to close the door behind me, and the Colonel shook his head and said, " After seven, you have to leave the door open if youre in a girls room," but I barley heard him because the hottest girl in all of human history was standing before me in cutoff jeans and a peach tank top.
