Blog Post 1: Identify
Three qualities i expect from 'a good book' are suspense, detail, and unpredictable. Suspense makes a book exciting and leaves you wanting to read more. Detail helps me imagine the scene or part of the book in my head. I like readinng books that are unpredictable because you never know what is going to happen next and it keeps you interested!
The book i am reading right now is called Twisted and it is the 9th book of the Pretty Little Liars Series by Sara Shepard. This Book contains all three of the qualities that i look for in a book. Suspenense is created by ending each chapter with a note from A. The four main characters in the story are four girls who recieve annonymous notes and messages signed "A", and by ending the chapters with the notes from A there is a lot of suspense created and makes you want to read on and see what happens next between the four girls. Detail is used throughout this book, and the author does a really good job at explaining scenes and different situations and you can create a clear image in your head of the scenarios and sometimes you feel like your actually in the book! The book is also unpredictable, because the author makes you think something is going to happen, but there are always surprises awaiting as you read on! All of these qualities make Twisted a great book to read.

Suspense is a great quality for a good book and I feel that this book clearly has suspense. Like you stated, at the end of each chapter there is a special note and message that is signed.
ReplyDeleteloove these books! i agree with you suspence is definitley a huge trait these books have,probabaly why there so good hahablog on sarah
ReplyDeleteI have watched the telivision series for this novel. I feel they did a great job at creating suspence, considering the novels had suspence like you said in your statement above. After every note the girls recive from A, the suspence always gives me either a worried feeling for the girls, or a worry for another character within the show.
ReplyDeleteI have read these book series as well! Did you think that the author did a good job of going back and forth to different time zones when she was explaining before Allison death/disappearance? Did you think that made the story more suspenseful? Also good blog however the font is hard to read!
ReplyDeleteI agree that unpredictable books are best! And its good to see you really enjoy those series.
