First Sentences

Test your literary knowledge by guessing the first sentences of different books!

Think you can recognize the book from just its first sentence? With the First Sentences app you can put that knowledge to the test!

Play a fun, multiple-choice game where the first sentence of a book is displayed and then you have to guess to which book that sentence belongs. Our book list spans the centuries, includes multiple genres, and also includes fun facts about the authors and titles.

Don't want to play the game? That's fine, just sit back and review the first sentences of all our books in an easy to navigate list.

Fun for parties, car trips, riding public transportation, sitting on the toilet, sitting on the couch, and probably other things too!
