Comparison of Writing Styles (no specific pages)
Catching Fire
By: Suzanne Collins
On the contrary to Leslie Connor’s writing style, I very much enjoy Suzanne Collins writing style. She writes with what I see as great passion and sincerity. Although, I do not enjoy tragic stories she should not “butterfly and rainbow” stories. Her descriptive personality (yes I believe description naturally comes to her) and her talent would be wasted writing happy stories. My favorite thing that makes me like Collins over Conner: how she hooks a reader. Even if the end of one chapter doesn’t always create the desire to read the next one, whatever she writes as her last sentence pulls(almost literally) into the next one. I admire her writing very much. I feel like how much you enjoy a book depends on how you read it. I think I’m reading this book at a good pace and am not trying to rush it. If I read (read (this one in present) in past tense) it faster I do not think I would enjoy it as much. If I were to evaluate my reading I would say that sometimes I expect too much out of a book and look at them too critically. I don’t know what will happen next in the book but I know it will be very interesting! I predict that Gale will become a main character very soon. But who will become the love interest? I can’t wait.
I totally agree about Suzanne Collins. I am interested to see what you think of Mockingjay...I almost felt let down, but not everyone feels that way.
