"It was a dark and stormy night." Why is this sentence considered to be the worst opening line in Literature
It is from a novel by a Victorian novelist Bulwer-Lytton,and is always quoted as the worst opening sentence in the whole of Literature!
Personally, I don't see why! It seems quite reasonable to me.
Has anyone any comments on why it's supposed to be "bad"?
Hi Bill
What do you think of that Great Thunderclap of a semtence:
"Call me Ismael."?
Hi Annoyed,
thanks for the Wiki link.
Sets the scene well enough for me, but apparently it's looked down on. Here's a Wiki article about it:
