What do you think a good beginning should be like? What effects should it have over the Reader and what should it essentially possess and contain?

According to me, a good novel always should have a striking beginning. It should be effective. Many novels which I have read like - - Oliver Twist , Around the world in eighty days, they have awesome beginnings!

A good beginning should contain the following :-

1. Easy Language

2. Lucid Flow of Ideas/thoughts

3. No vivid introduction of the main character(it spoils the story)

4. Nicely described place or event

A good beginning always hooks in the reader to the plot. Otherwise he tends to be bored and push away the book!
