I just started Juliet by Anne Fortier a few days ago and haven't been my usually speedy reading self.
Here's the opening sentence:
They say I died.
I'll admit, not the most intriguing opening sentence I've ever read, but it did carry the necessary push to keep me reading. Like I said I just started the book and look forward to finishing it. More than anything I look forward to seeing how this sentence from the prologue relates to the rest of the story.

short or not, I think its a great way to open the book. It tells you lots about the book
It is very telling. Sometimes I feel like the short, to the point starts are the most intriguing.
Great opening sentence! I'm already interested!
I'm thinking it's a vampire book, but given the types of books you've listed in the side bar, that's unlikely I'm intrigued.
I just started Undead and Unwead...
The day I died started out bad and got worse in a hurry!
I've been wanting to read Juliet. I hope you enjoy it!
That beginning shocks the reader into continuing!
Here's mine:
