Perfect intro

The world is dark, and light is precious.
Come closer, dear reader.
You must trust me.
I am telling you a story.
-Isn't this the perfect intro to a story. I am reading the kids "The Tale of Despereaux". This is what is written on the page before the story starts. I am already hooked.

We'll have to check it out! I noticed the movie's playing at the dollar show this summer, so we'll have to read it before we go see it.

I will have to try the book. I didn't love the movie, but the book is almost always better.

I was not. ...Okay, the line is perfect. But you know me and fantasy...

It's too bad, really. I wanted to like the book. Didn't ever make it past page forty or so.
