You know you're reading an exceptional book when the author's words cause you to write down their words. Here are two short examples of amazing sentences that evoked a powerful and/or visceral reaction for different reasons while reading them.
From Kill Shot by Vince Flynn: (page 238, Chapter 29 [hardcover])
LeFevre was an intellectual dynamo with a tireless thirst for the truth and a mind that could quickly dissect the incongruities in an argument, movement, or philosophy. He remembered her saying on that walk, "If communism is so wonderful, why do they control the press? Why do they have to spy on their own people?"
From The Keeper by Charles Martin: (the 4th book in A Murphy Shepherd Novel Series)
Evil is the currency. Power the prize.
There are so many more lines and authors with remarkable sentences that move readers to seek after every novel they've written with the objective of reading them all.
Father, you've given such amazing gifts to so many authors. I know these two particular authors would give you all the credit for their amazing work. We miss Vince, Lord, but we're comforted knowing he's with you now. Please bless Charles with everything he needs to continue his calling to write absolutely beautiful literature. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
