Book Response 1: #30(LA) If your book was a work of fiction are the main characters realistic or believable? Give evidence, using both real life and the book.




While I felt the majority of the plot line of the story did not carry much weight, the characters did. While it was not enough in my opinion to make up for the somewhat disappointing time line, it certainly helped carry the book along and make it more enjoyable.

I felt each had their own unique persona, that really gave the book a well rounded feel. Every time a new character was introduced, you wondered with eagerness as to what this new person would bring to the story, and to the fate of the main character. For example, my favorite character, Simon Chadwick, was a jolly fun english chap. Or so you thought. He stumbles into the main character at a hotel and stumbles out of the story just as pleasantly as he came. Until he comes back, with a somewhat more pronounced appearance, but not quite enough to tell you for sure if he was going to stick around or keep hopping in and out. I won't spoil his true nature or intentions, but he is definitely unforgettable. All in all I think the author did a great job of character development, and it definitely improved the book for me.
