The novel I reviewed this week was super different from a literary aspect in the sense that it wasn’t exactly a heavy read. It was one of those trashy (in the nicest possible way) novels that one reads when you really don’t want to think about the makings of the universe. This is not to say there aren’t to say that some important themes aren’t present, e.g. loyalty, infidelity, guilt, morality, etc.In my opinion there has been an improvement in my writing wince last week as I did keep the failings of my last post in mind as I was writing my review. I did state how I felt about this book and what I liked and what I didn’t like and I also did mention the key themes that struck a note with me.
I still think I have a long way to go with my review writing though. As I read all these professional reviews I notice that the writers use creative and witty metaphors and language that inspires images in the readers mind. I think this is one of those things that I will slowly improve on with practice. I’m being realistic here, I don’t think my next review is going to be a piece of literary art but I will try my best to come up with some quirky language so that I too can inspire imagery in the minds of my readers.
