Three things I expect in a good book are romance, drama and suspense.
I enjoy romance in a book because it adds to the drama. I don't have a lot of romance in my own life currently, so I like reading other people's romantic stories so I can feel like I'm a part of it.
I like drama in books because it makes it more interesting. It makes me question why certain things are happening and adds excitement to the book.
I also really like suspense in books because it makes you wonder what's going to happen next and it makes a book hard to put down. You want to keep reading to find the answer to the main problem.
All three of these things trigger emotional response in a reader, and makes a fictional book more interesting.

These are three good qualities to engage you in the reading of a novel, Megan. What specifically creates the 'drama' you speak about?
ReplyDeleteCan you now explain where in Candy specifically these three elements show themselves?
