Prompt: Do you like what you’re reading? Why or why not?

I do like what I am reading because of three aspects that really help build the book up.  The first thing that I think really makes this a good book is how the story progresses.  The story does not progress too fast or too slow.  They bring up parts that have been in previous chapters so we know what is going on, and they progress from those parts.  The author keeps the story moving along at a good pace so it is easy to keep track of what each character is doing and or thinking.

Another thing that I think helps build up the story is the suspense.  It uses this to force the reader to keep wanting to read the book, because they want to find out who the traitor is.  This helps build up the book because it gives it a more interesting plot.  With the development of the plot, the suspense thickens along with the desire to figure out who is the mysterious traitor who s sabotaging their means of living.

The last thing I m going to talk about are the characters.  The characters personalities really help get the plot further along.  All of them at time to time act suspicious, which really makes it interesting when someone plays detective and ties to blame them for being the traitor.  Little by little people are cleared of suspicion and everyone seems to always find someone new to blame.

  1. I like how you mentioned the pace of the plot in the book. Not many people mention pace, that is very observant of you. I also like how you compared the characters to each other and how they fit into the plot. Good job!

  2. When I see other people have this prompt, they tend to talk about events and soon lead up to summarizing. You took this prompt and put it into a different view, which is a nice change to see. Usually, when there is suspense in a book, it's what basically drives you to keep reading. Who would be your favorite character? Great job!
