A while ago I was thinking about what makes a good book so great. So I asked you to write about why your favorite book was so amazing. Here are the responses:
- Princess Bobo: Kiki Strike in the Shadow City is my favorite book because it has a ton of action and even though its pretty long, it goes by really quickly. The book seems so real because the characters do what i expect them to do, but the book still manages to suprise me. Finally, I find that i admire the talents of all the irregulars. Please read it and post a comment about it.
- Smileygerbil: book: Will of the empress author:Tamora Pierce because: The author really puts you in the characters shoes, and the author really creates vivid characters that stick in your mind.
- Bookz: Book: twilight by: stephenie meyer I like it because I think that the book is very interesting and you could never put it down. the vampires especially Alice are awesome. The book contains love, and adventures that are breath taking.
- Freshtalkingkids: Book: Harry Potter by JK Rowling I like it because: I think the author of HP is really good. The characters are honest, and I find I can really relate to them. Harry is the person I would like to be, good and kind and brave. But he also makes mistakes, and gets into trouble, which makes him a more believable character.
So what makes a good book so good? The things that kept coming up were:
- Believable and interesting characters
- Characters with special abilities/traits/powers
- Action and suspense… and a bit of romance too?
- Surprising plot
- Realistic emotions (Yeah, that one didn’t actually come up but it’s really important)
That’s all. I was going to post this a while ago, but I forgot to.
