This is a blog written by my Mom, Laurie Eberle. All credit goes
to her for its creation...People are fascinated by such things as
plot and characters.
More imagination is required for a reader to immerse oneself in a written story than to watch a theatrical production, onstage production, or a serial focusing on a certain topic. (For people who like variety, videos of all types are available.)
They are interested in the subject matter and genre of the book.
Some people even get off on pulling the author down, on criticizing for the sake of it, and in some cases, "trolling".
They want to nitpick on a small detail. (For example, picking on a detail such as what a character ate for lunch.)
And if you’ve read a book and didn’t like it, ask yourself why. Did you dislike the story? Why? Are you nitpicking? Why?
Before you read anything, make a commitment to it, then you can speak to the author, actually knowing what you’ve read. Also, there is no need to always comment. Whether or not your feedback is requested, think about whether or not you want to offer it. No one is required to comment. Usually, it’s optional. If you choose to comment or ask a question, make it relevant. If you chose not to comment, then this is fine too.
