On the other hand, if there's a book with a really awesome, intense plot, but poorly made characters, I may find I don't really *care* much what happens--I don't know these people who are going through such hardship, so I don't think twice about deserting them.<br /><br />Awesome post, I love looking at the root of things like this. :DJeremiahhttp://www.another-otherworld.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814045544257148284.post-30010003003863299462013-07-18T05:51:59.607-07:002013-07-18T05:51:59.607-07:00I think I'm equally balanced between plot and ...I think I'm equally balanced between plot and character based books. (Although it's great if you jag both, such as <em>The Westing Game</em>, there's one that nailed both sides) Books by Frank Peretti get you in by the plot, books by Janette Oke get you in by the characters. Characters that tug at my heart strings also get more points for being in the book. So yes, both those two for me. :DJasmine Ruigrokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976708690026168727noreply@blogger.com
