  2. I'd keep reading on this one. Why's a short guy trying to bust into (or out of) a broken factory window?

  5. Yes, I'd keep reading. One thing I'd change (but this is obviously just my opinion): I'd add -- "just like Vicki said it would be." I think this gives the sentence clarification. The way it is now tripped me up and I had to reread. Hope this helps and good luck!

  9. Definitely interested. I really like the first sentence, it has great voice. The second not as much, but I still want to read on.

  14. Hooked! You start with story rather than explanation, and you have a character in an interesting situation. I'd read more.

  15. Interesting beginning. Just raising questions is enough. Readers don't need to be slammed over the head with excitement.

  16. Not hooked. Sounds like they're going to get up to some hijinks, but it just doesn't seem "dangerous" enough to really grab me.
