"The Dead of Night" by John Marsden possessed very few errors in capturing the reader's attention. Between lacking grammatical error, never "playing a subject out", and keeping the reader attached, this books rating had at least a 7. Although, the story kept me very interested, certain styles the author chose made the events dramatically jump up and down. This was very disturbing, well picked climactic points in the story were uninteresting because of these mistakes. Carefully …showed first 75 words of 289 total…

…showed last 75 words of 289 total…far as interest is concerned. Many factors are involved when writing a story, not understanding this is unforgivable. Although, concocting a well planned and thought out fiction/non- fiction story/novel involves limitless devotion. Not being an author personally, It's very hard understanding a writers mentality and or point of view. From my perspective, being the fair reader I am, my direct quote would have to be, "A very catchy beginning, but a shaky ending".
