What do you feel makes a poorly written book? People go on and on about Twilight being poorly written, but every time I pick it up it sucks me back in so that I can barely put it down to even sleep at night. Just curious how you would explain it, because I try to argue with people about it, but don't know exactly how else to say it.Lisa Mandinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691593776280004137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591212467365219458.post-85686994674425016772011-07-02T22:41:19.241+02:002011-07-02T22:41:19.241+02:00I agree, a character I love can get me through an ...I agree, a character I love can get me through an otherwise tedious book! <br /><br />thanks for stopping by my blog! <br /><br />AnjaAnja K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807435343847113353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591212467365219458.post-38560991820844413812011-07-02T08:45:56.396+02:002011-07-02T08:45:56.396+02:00Thanks for hopping by :-) Sometimes there's ju...Thanks for hopping by :-) Sometimes there's just nothing that can save a book, when the writing, characters and plot suck it really deserves to be put down.
