What book changed your opinion on what was good literature?
Everyone has a "favorite" books, and then one day, another book comes and blows the other out of the water, and you have a problem, because now his favorite book isn't as good anymore. What book was that book for you?
The Noughts and Cross by Malorie Sequence Black man. This book does not exactly ruin my favorite book for me because I did not have a favorite book when I read it. But what this book has done is change the point of storytelling for me. When I was younger I always thought writing a good piece of literature was performed using many my fancy words that nobody knows the meaning and giving the names of his characters unbelievable skills, and basically making them a sort of "superman". But after reading Noughts and Crosses, I realized that everyday words are just as effective as luxury. And the characters should be normal, as they may relate with them more. It is the argument that must be complex, with the suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat and emotions that leave your heart still beating after closing the book. Above all, this book took me firmly by the hand, spun me around, saying, "Look, do not really want to spend all your fantasies about the things that Life is not going to happen. Get on with your life, because it's happening to you. Stuff that matters. "That's when I grew up, when I realized that I have a future, and need not be next Hermione Granger or the second woman Super make something of myself. Yes, I know, I have walked and gone to the point. Sorry. Elle x
