Critique your novel of choice. Did you like it? Is it well-written? Did you connect with a particular character or plot line?
I am really glad I read The Golfinch by Donna Pratt. The figurative language made it so that I could picture everything that was said, even though I've only been to New York a few times and have never been to Las Vegas. I think that the author did a great job of developing the characters. For example, in the beginning of the book, the reader only knows what Theo's dad is like from Theo's flashbacks and descriptions of him. Later on in the book, when he goes to live with his dad, the reader slowly learns more about his dad so that he seems like a realistic person. The one thing that I really did not like was the spelling and grammar in the book. There were several occasions where words were misspelled or there were run on sentences. Donna Pratt is a Pulitzer Prize winning author and I was surprised and disappointed in the fact that her book hadn't been copy edited well.
