Hero Debuts That Will Have You Hooked

a book list by Aaron Aiken, All-Around Great Guy and Master at Keeping Things Simple

shelved under Fiction

As we read books, it's natural to choose a character from the story to relate to. When I read, I usually pick a character who I would like to be. Most of the time these characters are the hero of the story. This list is comprised of six characters and their first appearances. Each book will have you longing for more and will have you wishing to be just like them... and lucky for you, each character (except John Kelly) has more than one book to his name. Enjoy!
