Smashwords book reviews by Risa Attrell
- To Hook or Not to Hook, That is the Question?
on Jan. 23, 2011
I totally agree with what Robert Hendry writes here. I think it's sad that the literary agents insist on the 'hook' right in the beginning. That certainly isn't my style of writing. Why does every story have to start off with excitement? What happened to the 'nice cozy story' to read by the fireplace? There's a problem though with e-books. In days gone by, you could go to the bookstore, sit at a table, and read as much of a book as you want-maybe even the whole thing, before you decided if it was worth spending your money to take the book home with you. When it comes to buying e-books though, (or even buying hard copy books online) one cannot just read the whole thing before buying. And why would someone who just gets to read a sample, buy the book, if there is nothing to 'hook' the reader in the sample? I consider this a real problem.
- The Storyteller's Art: How Not to Bore Your Reader to Sleep, Tears, or Homicide
on Jan. 26, 2011
I'm in the process of reading this book. Very well written and informative. Mr. Porretto has a wonderful, unique writing style and a great sense of humor! I don't know WHY his books are free, but lucky for us they are!
