Maybe I am mean but I detest and edit out everything that comes before the story, in my reading copies. Dedications are the worst, why do I need to know or care that the tome is dedicated to some random relative, or worse some random initials. If I go to a movie there is no opening scene where main actor gets to say I dedicate this role to auntie dotty.
So for once I am with amazon on where to open at. And that is enough channelling of Katie Hopkins for today.
