Three Qualities I expect from a good book;
Detail within the writing - For a book to be considered good, a detailed story is needed. I love lots and lots of detail in the books I read. It helps set the mood and helps you settle yourself into the story. As if you were there, watching everything happen in the story behind a line.
Relatable Characters - When reading a book, one thing I love about it is when you have that one favorable character that you can relate to. It helps the story get across to the readers, help them feel what they are trying to make them feel.
Proper Puncutation and Grammar - Spelling and grammar is deffinatly important. When I read a book, I expect to see proper Puncutation and grammar. It just makes the whole story a whole lot better and more effective.
From books you have been reading so far throughout this school year (2011-2012), have they contained these qualities? ;
Yes. Out of this whole year, I have read about eight or more books. Most of these books are from the very detailed and brilliant series of "The Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice. I have read several books from this series, and now going onto the 8th book. The other one being "Kiss The Rain" by Kevin Brooks. Anne Rice is an excellent author, and she details her books thoroughly. This series contains a numerous amount of characters, all which are quite relatable, also it's grammar and puncutation is swell. As for "Kiss The Rain", the book contains great puncutation and grammar except for the parts of when the author types their words as if they are speaking in their accents, which I find amusing and interesting. The characters like Moo are relatable when it comes to his past issues and personality, and the detail in the writing is well written.

Just a useful writing tip. When you use the numbers one to ten in your blog posts, you have to type out the full words instead of using the actual number. For example, in your post you said that you read 8 books so far instead,write eight.
ReplyDeleteYour post is really good. I just think you could avoid repetitions. For example you've written "One thing I..." in all descriptions of the qualities you appreciate on a book.
ReplyDeleteIt must really be hard to find books that interest you if you need characters that you can relate to. I do agree with a book needing detail in the writing. There is nothing worse than reading a book without any detail involved.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a really good job with your first blog post! You put a lot of good detail into each characteristic for a good book. I think you supported why you liked the charcteristic's with good reasoning and personal opinion.
ReplyDeleteReally good post. Just one spelling mistake in the third line of the last paragraph. You put "I have read seve..."
ReplyDeleteOther than that, great job.
