novel critique

            The novel The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum is a definite book worth taking the time to read. The author's words were very catchy and descriptive allowing the readers to lose themself in the book. .
             Robert Ludlum was very descriptive throughout the novel enabling readers to become one of the characters and in a sense become part of the novel. The way Ludlum used his words to describe the characters and the scenes throughout the story caught the attention of the reader. As most people would say this book is a real "page turner" due to the authors excellent choice of sophisticated words. The author grabs the attention of the reader from the first sentence in the novel and all throughout the novel. He uses a sense of mystery in his writing that makes the reader want to keep reading to find out what happens. The authors" excellent use of words and his sense of mystery are what make the novel as great as it is.
             I would not change anything about this novel because when an author can keep his audience reading and the reader does not want to stop reading the author has done a good job in entertaining his audience. Due to Ludlum's use of wordage he has successfully entertained his audience with his novel The Bourne Identity. .
             I learned a unique style of writing unlike other novels I have previously read. I would definitely recommend this novel to my friends or anyone else. It is a very action packed novel and would be entertaining to all ages.

I found Ethan Frome to be a heartbreaking tale of despair and anguish. Each of the main characters had their own plight, entwining smaller, subtler topics into the overall theme of the novel.
