The book I'm reading right now is called 'The Princess Plot'. Its a really interesting book with many twists and turns. One thing that i have really like about the book is how much detail the author uses. The book is written by Kristen Boie and she's really good at using detail. This is how she describes a man driving along the roads views:
"He saw the figure long before he reached it, for at this point in the journey the road climbed straight up a hill, as if it had been drawn with a ruler. Someone was huddled by the roadside, brown and gray like the dirt, and for a fraction of a second he was afraid there might have been an accident, that an injured person was lying there. But then the figure sprang up, and he saw the typical gesture. Someone wanted a ride" (Boie 74).
I think that this quote uses a lot of descriptive detail that makes it easier to picture exactly what the character is seeing. I think that she could have improved the quote by adding more sensory detail like sounds. I think that the detail in this book makes it better and more interesting to read. There are also many more good things about the book, but you'll have to read it to find out.
i think that is a good quote. and i sounds very interesting
ReplyDeleteThis book seems very interesting. It sounds like it would be about a princess yet the quote you chose does not make it seem like it is about a princess. This is very intriguing.
