This week I'm reading...
I drove across town following Chicken Boy, anticipation fluttering in my chest like the big yellow feathers flapping through the open window of his truck.
We headed west on the freeway, and people in oncoming cars laughed at the chicken driving ahead of me. I was glad the guy I rented from the costume shop brought pleasure to so many - until a half-dozen feathers flew off his wing and stuck to my windshield. A small boy in a passing car pointed and laughed like crazy, but all I could see was a wing full of yellow coating my vision. I turned on my windshield wipers, and feathers floated off to the right, making me notice the tops of nearby buildings and billboards. The colors of one made me catch my breath.
Would you continue reading?
Hum.Not quite sure I'd keep reading, but sound like a fun, light read.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to read a little further. I'm not sure where this on is headed! The cover is interesting!.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I am not sure, but maybe I will. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd stay with it if I was in the mood for a humorous read. Here's my Tuesday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2013/10/first-chapter-first-paragraph-35.html
ReplyDeleteOh, no, this is not going to end well for Chicken Boy! I want to know more, though.

This sounds like a fun mystery. I like the image of a guy in a chicken suit driving down the freeway. He shouldn't be hard to follow!

I bet someone got shot or something.... awesome teaser!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun, cozy mystery. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteToo many feathers! Too many feathers!

ReplyDeleteI would have to keep reading a bit more to decide.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a light, fun read. I don't care for the cover, but that has nothing to do with the story, that's just me :) You should keep reading.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd keep going with Chicken Boy -- but maybe it would make more sense later.
