6/13/2023 What's most important in a book for you: the plot, the characters, or the writing style?




Ok, so this is a tricky one. I need it all. BUT, I recently read a book and the writing style was so good so it did not matter that I did not like the characters or the plot in a way.



But a good plot, and bad characters and writing, hmm, no I do not think that can save a book.



Good characters are key, but we do need the rest too.



I have no idea, I want it all!!!

  1. Great question and I agree with you but above all if the storyline/plot sucks it doesn't matter how good the rest is to me anyway

    1. It is a complex puzzle that needs to work

  2. The characters because if I don't like the characters, I probably won't like the book.

  4. In general, it's the characters for me. If I love a character, I can ignore almost everything else.

    1. The love of a character can save it all

  5. I feel like good and complex characters are so important. 2Ds are boring and I won't care even if it is the best writer in the world.

    1. I agree. Not even the best author can save a crappy character

  6. Characters! Then maybe plot. If both those are good, then I can take even the most difficult writing styles.

  7. I agree... a great book must have them all. Sometimes one aspect can ruin a book. So it's tough.

  8. I need all three. Maybe plot is just a smidge more important to me, but not by much.
