Review #3

3 ways Scott Westerfield makes you feel like you are part of the book more than other authors:

 

        I.            The imagery. In the book Scott is overly descriptive but in a way that you don’t realize that it might be a little much but in a way that makes you descend farther and engulf yourself into the story and make you feel like you are walking by Tally’s side experiencing all the plot twists and surprises along with the emotions of love, hate, desire, danger, adventure, change and so on.

      II.            Descriptions and metaphors. In the book Scott loves to take things that the reader may not know about and describe them and compare them to things that the reader does know about to give you a full, detailed understanding of what is going on in the book. This really helps to feel like you are part of the story.

    III.            The even pace. This book has a lot of plot twists and surprises but it keeps and even pace and describes every detail to make sure the reader doesn’t get confused or bored and so they keep feeling like part of the story. This even pace helped the book to blossom into a series of books.
