Daisy Jones/Carrie Soto 3
What components does your book have to make it a page-turner? Or was this book a little slow to get started? Was there a point where you just couldn't put it down? Or did you struggle getting through it? Please provide examples.
The book has very good flow, but I wouldn't say it's a page-turner. When I sit down and read it for an hour, the story drives itself along at its own pace, and strings together the events and scenes very well. There are parts that seem to come out of nowhere, such as Daisy and Nick's surprise marriage, but these are accented in their speed to represent how sudden it is for the characters as well.
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree about the flow of the book! I think a big part of the reason I liked this book so much was because of how well it fluidly "strings together the events" as you put it.
DeleteI was fully invested in this book from the moment I started reading it. It did a good job keeping my attention due to the constant shift in perspectives. Towards the end before they broke up, I couldn't put it down. I felt so invested and immersed in the situations described that I didn't want to break away into reality because it felt like its own reality. It felt more real and natural to me than novels written in a more traditional way.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the end made me want to finish the book so I could find out what happened.
DeleteI think the book started off well when it was going through Daisy being a teenager but then it got slow before she joined The Six. it just felt to me like the author had to add some stuff to make it more spread out, so I didn't really like the flow of the book. But after she joined the band, it got interesting again
ReplyDeleteFor me, it was the fact that I wanted to know how the band got split up at the end and I could not put it down as I got towards the end. In the start of the book it was a little slow for me because the song writing was boring. But when it came to Billy and Daisy it became a page turner and at the end when Camila said those things to Daisy.
ReplyDeleteI thought this whole book was a page turner. From the beginning I was interested about how Carrie was going to pull off reclaiming her Slam record. I was intrigued by every match and what the people and the media's thoughts were and what they were saying. The struggles Carrie went through and the things she had to learn to become the person she was at the end of the book made me want to keep reading. I wanted to find out how she would overcome them and learn to trust others and herself. This book felt real to me and I constantly wondered if Carrie was a real person.
ReplyDeleteYes I loved how it showed the peoples' thoughts on her with the articles and news shows. It was just great. The matches were definitely the most intriguing parts where I could not put it down. I love how this author can make it feel so real. I also constantly was wondering if this really happened or if Carrie was really a real person. It is impressive really.
DeleteOh man this was a great book. I would definitely consider this a page-turner. The entire time I was intrigued and wanted to know how far Carrie would make it or if she would really ever be the greatest. The ending was definitely the best part. I loved that no one expected her to actually be good or win anything and she proved them wrong multiple times. Also with everything going on with her dad and she still decided to play for him. And even though she did not end up beating her rival she was okay with it and she finally accepted it. It was just overall a great book. There was never a time where I was bored and I was definitely satisfied with the ending.
ReplyDeleteYes agreed. This was a great book. It kept me intrigued the entire time there was definitely moments where I could not put it down. Overall just a great read for any audience.
Deletethe book before she joined the Six but at the end, I really liked how it ended. I really wanted to know if Billy and Daisy were going to get together. When Camilia came into Daisys room, I knew it wasn't going to be bad, but that was one of my favorite parts. I also liked how it wasn't something I normally would read so it was different and i liked it.
ReplyDeletethe book was a little bit slow in the beginning when it was giving the background information, but then it picked up. I think what kept me interested was the fact that it was from multiple points of view. I liked that I could see what everyone was thinking at one particular moment. The ending was also slightly surprising and a little bit bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteI thought this book was a page turner because I really loved how it was written. I loved how I know who was talking because it was written like a play. The whole book was a page turner because I wanted to see when the band was going to meet Daisy and then I wanted to know how the band was made. I loved that I got to see every characters perspective and I think that's what made this a really good book. I also loved the end when we got to find out that the narrator was Julia because I think that made this an even more thought out and well written book.
ReplyDeleteI thought this book was a page turner. I really liked the way it was written, in interview from. I thought it was a little boring at the start with all of the background information but i felt like once the band got together and when they met Daisy I couldn't put it down. I really liked how Julia turned out to be the girl interviewing all of the band mates. I think that this book was very good and well- written.
