2nd Blog Post - Identify and Sort

Three simple things that a good book need to have is a good plot and an exciting climax, an interesting end, and obviously, good characters. You need to me curiosity to know what will happens to the main characters, and how the story will end! In "Uglies", by Scott Westerfeld, the plot is so good that keeps your attencion until the last page of the book. Another book very good is "Thirteen Reasons Why", by Jay Asher, don't have the most interesting plot, but by the end of the book, you discovered what really happens. This is what I most admires in a book, when you don't know what's going on, and just by the end of the history you discover that the character you like, is really, the bad guy. This kind of thing really made me admires or hate some author!

1st Blog Post - How to Identify a Good Book

Find a good book is always difficult, a lot of people trying to be a good author, few with success. Recently, I read a book named Uglies, from Scott Westerfeld, and this book is really, really good! It's the kind of book I particularly like, because it catches my attention, it ends with a taste of "I want more" and there is a lot of climax moments, when you think Tally (the main character) will not get it. Is a fiction-romance book, that tells the story of our society in some years from now, if we don't stop wasting and destroying the nature. Is a story of a society that when people are 16 years old, in the day of their birthdays, they do a surgery to become a perfect person, and as a perfect, they have the right to party and to do what they want. But, there is a society, Smoke, that think there is something wrong with this surgery. So, Tally becomes friends with Shay, and Shay is always talking about this society. In the day of their surgery (because both were born on the same day), Shay ranaway, and a govern organ, Special Circumstances, go to Tally and tell her that she will only become perfect if she finds Shay! Then, the history begins! So, this catches your attention during the whole book, have a lot of climax moments and ends in a INCREDIBLE way! That's what a good book needs to!
