  3. The name distracted me so much I had to read it three times before I finished the first sentence. If it was a book in front of me I'd read more but if I was thrown or confused again, I wouldn't continue. So I guess I'm hooked with a caveat! :)

  7. Not really hooked, sorry. Might be a genre thing. Although I'm amused and almost like his name.
