This is the best opening I've ever read in a book

"The gunman, is useless.
I know it.
He knows it.
The whole bank knows it.
Even my best mate Marvin knows it and he's more useless than the gunman.
The worst part about the whole thing is that Marv's car is standing outside in a fifteen-minute parking zone. We're all face down on the floor and the car's only got a few minutes left on it.
'I wish this bloke'd hurry up', I mention,
'I know,' Marv whispers back. 'This is outrageous.' "

I dont know why I like that opening, I just think it's really good. I should probably read the rest of the book.

It's called The Messenger and it's by Markus Zusak.
