3 things that make up a good book.
For me, these three things are what make a book good.
#1: It has to be different, something has to set it apart from all the others.
#2: It has to have a few twists in it. To keep you interested.
#3: The book NEEDS a beautifully crafted ending. It has to make you wish that the book wasn't over.
Does "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy have these three things? Yes!
#1: Something that sets this book apart from the rest is that is has no dialogue markers, and no punctuation marks (" " doesn't appear to mark when dialogue starts, and ' doesn't appear in words like wasn't. They are spelled normally, but without the ' as in wasnt).
#2: The Road has some very surprising and often dark plot twists that you never expect. I can't give anything away.
#3: For me, the ending of The Road was indeed beautifully crafted, sad, and inspiring. It is by far my favorite
ending for any book.
The Road has all 3 things to make it a good book.
Can you do me a favour? Change the font (colour, type and size) so that it can be more easily read.
ReplyDeleteThe background may not be the best choice either. The images behind the text really reduce the ability to read the ideas.
