DO you find the "telling in reverse" method disconcerting? I'm wondering if that would drive me crazy or not! I do love my thrillers and books of suspense. My teaser is from "The Ovary Wars" (great title, I think) by Mike Hogan. US women are being sterilized unknowingly. Birth rates drops, economic collapse is the result. Families go from prosperity to poverty, there are crimes such as drugs, baby selling, selling of fertility lists, even women selling their eggs. Fast-paced -- plus what an interesting concept! It could be a new form of warfare. I could see this being a very intriguing movie, too (I'm thinking "Bourne" type, but that may be overthinking.)
ReplyDeleteThe teaser: [[We need to get a few of those brainy guys from the Institute of Population Demographics, and have them develop a product that can affect China like Ovamort affected the United States. Of course, all of this has to be off the record, and if by accident we are discovered, we can always justify our actions by saying we were trying to solve the world population problem.''
Absolutely brilliant teaser. I think this is on my TBR list, but I shall double check. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/05/teaser-tuesdays-sea-witch.html
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good read, reminds me of Memento.
ReplyDeleteOur teaser is at BookSake.
nice tease.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TT
This one sounds very profound.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday Teaser is here at Inside of a Dog.
How very true! Here is my teaser for this week.
ReplyDeleteWonderful teaser! I find it interesting that the book is backwards? Will look for your review :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my TT!
I am glad you are enjoying this book. It sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteWow, a book that's told in reverse? That's something that I want to read! Great teaser.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser :-) I 've never heard of a book being told backwards!
ReplyDeleteLove the teaser! Great idea for a suspense novel. It's true that few of us really "live in the moment." Sounds very '60s.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! Also I wanted to mention that I read your review for the Prop.Sisters and that you said that it reminded you of the tvshow Charmed! WOWee, that was one of my favourite tvshows too, so I am going to look for that book. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for stopping by On the Bookcase.
ReplyDeleteI have not read LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER. I see you gave it a four! Though I don't have kids and mother stories aren't necessarily my thing, I do like a book well-written. So, I will gave this LTMD a try. Thanks for sharing.
Now that teaser really made me stop and think!
ReplyDeleteI can be guilty of that! I've heard so many great things about this book. I'll be looking forward to your review.
