What techniques are used to capture the reader's attention in a novel?

Great opening lines often introduce an element of mystery or intrigue. For example, in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' with 'Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.' It makes you wonder about this strange, uncharted place.

Another way is by setting an unusual scene. In 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut, the opening 'All this happened, more or less.' gives a sense of ambiguity right away. It makes the reader question what 'this' is and how it happened'more or less'. It's a unique way to start a story that is full of time - jumps and surreal elements.

Great opening lines can also introduce a character in an interesting way. Such as 'John woke up with a strange mark on his hand, and he had no memory of how it got there.' This immediately makes the reader interested in John and his situation. They want to know more about who he is and what the mark means.

Start with a gripping opening scene. It could be a high-stakes situation, a mystery, or a surprising event that makes readers want to know more.
