I liked that this was a different approach to starting a book. I felt that I never read a beginning of a book being so descriptive. Furthermore, I wanted to read the first few pages and continue another time, but the descriptive parts made me want to not come back to reading the chapter. I want to know why the author was so descriptive with minor parts of the story. Everything felt dragged out to me. I liked the quote from the author about Lucy the most.
