I always find it interesting what catches other readers (and writers); what turns people off and what they enjoy.Linda Leszczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15117080878321152684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065790180838534134.post-66706151152546489392010-09-21T12:12:07.195-04:002010-09-21T12:12:07.195-04:00Keeping my fingers crossed for Brandi.

It helps tie the books together.<br /><br />A lot of authors have used that device from way back.<br /><br />I wish I had Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom series in front of me. Every time Burroughs described John Carter it was always the same. <br /><br />It was laughable to say the least, but I think I would miss that quirky little description if it was never put in subsequent books. It was a cute reminder of what you were reading. <br /><br />It defined the series.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065790180838534134.post-64334986261714084262010-09-20T21:31:40.785-04:002010-09-20T21:31:40.785-04:00Stacy - yeah, I think my memory for certain types ...Stacy - yeah, I think my memory for certain types of detail works against me sometimes.<br /><br />I've just read the one Tess Gerritsen (The Surgeon) but will definitely be going back for more.

At least the write is being consistent. Plus, my memory isn't as good as yours and I wouldn't notice. Really.<br /><br />I love Tess Gerritsen's books. I've read most of them (I haven't been able to find all of her older romance, but the ones I did find I enjoyed, also). Another good writer - Meg Gardiner (I went to high school with her, so maybe I'm a little prejudiced), but Stephen King likes her, too (and she write suspense thrillers - not horror). Here first Evan Delany book is "China Lake" and her first Jo Beckett book is "Dirty Secrets Club". You can't go wrong with either!Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065790180838534134.post-42697642764635091902010-09-20T21:23:00.729-04:002010-09-20T21:23:00.729-04:00Stephen - Thank you for Brandi and yes, the nine y...Stephen - Thank you for Brandi and yes, the nine year old is a little pistol.<br /><br />I agree on the redundant, although I imagine you need to set the stage to some degree in each book.

I think I was caught by the repeats in this series because the descriptive lines were clever and stayed with me. But does that make it good or bad? Not sure. <br /><br />Thanks for the good wishes for Brandi.Linda Leszczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15117080878321152684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065790180838534134.post-53748778342086737172010-09-20T18:11:18.806-04:002010-09-20T18:11:18.806-04:00Sometimes I notice the same line, sometimes I don&...Sometimes I notice the same line, sometimes I don't.

I don't think it necessary to repeat info from the settings from a previous book. Why be redundant?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.stephentremp.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen Tremp</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065790180838534134.post-28201608074991579722010-09-20T07:44:57.984-04:002010-09-20T07:44:57.984-04:00I guess I can see where using the same description...I guess I can see where using the same descriptions could help tie books together, but I'm not sure if that would help or hurt the books for me. One to think on. I have read a series where a character's name and occupation changed from book one to book two (but stayed the same from there on).<br /><br />Glad to hear Brandi still has her eye. Hopefully she will continue to improve.<br /><br />Mason<br /><a href="http://www.masoncanyon.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Thoughts in Progress</a>Mason Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935307400882363560noreply@blogger.com
