You know the one. You've been reading a book for the first time. You may love, or hate it, or may not be sure yet. Then, you read the scene.

The scene that grabs you. The scene that you remember after you put the book down. The scene that twists. The scene you will always remember.

The scene may be a line, a phrase, or a character's speech. It conveys an image that haunts you.

The scene may, or may not, define the book. It may be pivotal, it may be splurious. But the scene is so well written, it's vivid. It sticks. It haunts.

Every great book has many great images, but there is that one that means something to you. Great books have them, mediocre books have at least one, and, sometimes, one scene is all that saves a bad book.

Share the scenes. One per post. Feel free to repost, but let's let everyone play.
