What I mean is, when you started reading a book, how quickly did you empathise or at least sympathise with the protagonist or other main character? I'm not talking about how quickly the story hooked you, but how quickly the character hooked you.

For me, the quickest I was hooked was in Flowers for Algernon. Charlie Gordon made me sympathise with him a mere two sentences into the novel. It was incredible, and nothing like that has happened to me since.

What about you? Which book, and character, drew you in the quickest?
