Think about it. The phrasing MADE YOU ASK. And, now, you need the answer. You already want to keep reading to find out more.

Yes, I know, the flip side is the reader says "Huh? Baby? Annie? I'm already confused. Next!"

Also, a short, punchy blurb may be best suited to go with a similar prose style in the book.

"Wham! Bam! Pow!" Might be an appropriate hook for the readers of a Men's Adventure book, probably not the best blurb for "The Red Badge of Courage."

OK, I guess my mixed messages are fully delivered now. I got nothin' else.
