In a good book, three qualities I look for is suspense, emotion, and clarity. The book should clearly describe setting, characters, and events. It help imagine the subject better and I can be drawn to the characters if they look a certain way. An example would be Damon Salvitor in The Vampire Diaries. Also, the book needs to have suspense. Suspense is the most important quality, it makes the reader keep reading on eager to know what happens next. Finally, emotion. Emotion helps readers connect to characters like Sam in The Perks of Being A Wallflower. It makes you feel sympathy, anger, hate, love, or even lust for example 50 Shades of Grey. Without emotion a book would just be.. bland.
At the moment I am reading Shiver by Maggie Steifvater. It has emotion, suspense, and clarity. I can picture the woods in Grace's backyard, the wolves she is obsessed over, and even Sam's fiery gold eyes. The guilt, innocence, and love you feel from Grace makes you want to befriend her. Sam's strength, trust, and lust makes you love him even more. There is Suspense around every corner and I always have trouble putting the book down.

ReplyDeleteOn a stylistic note: How can you fix the following errors?
1. "In a good book, three qualities I look for is suspense, emotion, and clarity." (subject verb agreement)
2. "It help imagine the subject better and I can be drawn to the characters if they look a certain way." (clarity, typo)
3. "Suspense is the most important quality, it makes the reader keep reading on eager to know what happens next." (comma splice)
4. "Finally, emotion" (sentence fragment)
5. "It makes you feel sympathy, anger, hate, love, or even lust for example 50 Shades of Grey." (transition needed)
