Teaser Tuesday


Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) random teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title and the author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!
My Teaser:

"By the end of filming [Lawrence of Arabia] O'Toole had lost two stones in weight, received third-degree burns, sprained both ankles, torn ligaments in both his hip and thigh, dislocated his spine, broken his thumb, sprained his neck and been concussed twice.  The conditions were such that some of the crew couldn't take it and left."

     - Hellraisers: The Life and Inebriated Times of Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole, and Oliver Reed by Robert Sellers

  1. Wow! That certainly sounds intense. And I'm not sure I'd be able to stand those conditions, either. But I DO adore an O'Toole movie. Great teaser!

    If you'd like, you can check out mine here.

  3. I adored that movie, but yikes! He certainly went through a lot of pain and suffering. The book sounds quite intriguing. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/04/teaser-tuesdays-in-shadow-of-cypress.html
