Third Sentence Thursday is a weekly meme which likes to wander around in the forest!
1) Take the book you are reading now and post the third sentence
2) Review this sentence anyway you want (funny and silly reviews encouraged)
3) Post a link to your sentence here (in the comments) or if you don't have a blog, just post it in the comments!
"Sarah and Nathaniel stood nearby, looking up at the old man, quietly and respectfully waiting for him to continue, but before he could say another word, his intended dramatic pause was broken by a long, throaty groan rising up from behind them." -The Falling Machine by Andrew P. Mayer
That's quite a long sentence. One gets the feel that the author might be a tad long-winded or perhaps it's just an allusion to the old man since this seems like a lecture. I wonder who the interrupter is though!
I'll be curious what you think of The Falling Machine after you're done. I had a really mixed reaction to it, with some things I loved and others I didn't.
