characters make the story, without them, readers don’t become attached to the book, causing them to lose interest, and causing them to never by another one of your books.

Michael Crichton is an exception, and an anomaly.

I am currently reading “Blonde” and I hate reading it because I have the tendency of getting lost into the world of the story.

Literally, Joyce Carol Oates has the ability to suck you into the story and place you into the life of the main character-I love her, she is extraordinary. Her writing is mesmerizing.
