In a British poll to see what book openings are most recognisable, Stormbreaker won by far apparently, being recognised after four words:

"When the door rings ... "

If anyone is going on holiday with Virgin Atlantic anytime soon, Stormbreaker (the movie) is showing on its planes right now ... lol

yeah he probably did. It's a good opening sentence though you have to agree it's very catchy.
