BRENDA MOHAMMED EXCELS IN CREATING THE GLUE THAT GRABS THE READER

 


BOOK REVIEW OF CONSPIRACY STORIES
Luv2read
5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely held my interest
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸
Verified Purchase
A fast read, a compilation of three stories.
It starts with an intriguing introduction about scientists agreeing that the public shouldn’t know something; something to do with a vaccination being tested. That hit close to home with all that’s going on in the world.
I was compelled to keep reading to see where this was going.
The title set me up, as confirmed by the affirmation a little bit on that the public shouldn’t know gruesome results.
Back to the research: two years condensed into one month. I’m so curious about what will happen that I couldn’t stop reading.
I kept at it in one sitting right through a dark secret, a marriage gone wrong, and a woman being stalked.
Where this author excels is in creating the glue that grabs the reader, to begin with, and doesn’t let up. This was a nice diversion, this compilation.
I got lost in it for an afternoon

Title:  Stories That Intrigue
Subtitle:  Six Stories of Romance, Delight, and Mystery
Author:  Brenda Mohammed
Genre:  Romance - Suspense
   
Appearance: 5 The appearance of a book can make a significant impact on the experience of a reader, whose enjoyment is often enhanced by an enticing cover, an intriguing table of contents, interesting chapter headings, and when possible, eye-catching illustrations.
   
Plot:  5 The characters of a book should be well defined with strengths and flaws, and while they do not have to be likable, the reader does have to be able to form a connection with them. 
The tone should be consistent, the theme should be clear, and the plot should be original or told from a unique perspective. 
For informative books -those without plot and characters--this rating refers primarily to your concept and how well you presented it.
   
Development: 5 Development refers to how effectively you told your story or discussed your topic. The dialogue should be realistic, the descriptions should be vivid, and the material should be concise and coherent. 
Organization is also a key factor, especially for informative books -- those without plot and characters. 
The order in which you tell your story or explain your topic and how smoothly it flows can have a huge impact on the reader's understanding and enjoyment of the material.
   
Formatting:4 Formatting is the single most overlooked area by authors. 
The way in which you describe scenes, display dialogue and shift points of view can make or break your story. 
In addition, excessive grammatical errors and typos can give your book an amateurish feel and even put off readers completely.
   
Marketability:5 Marketability refers to how effectively you wrote your book for your target audience. Authors may include content that is above or below the understanding of their target reader or include concepts, opinions, or language that can accidentally confuse or alienate some readers.
