 What Is It In A Book?
What is it in a book that makes you read on, and what would be the perfect story?
Give an overview of what a perfect story would contain for you.
For me one example would be a central character, a girl, and a moral fight of some kind, where she has to grow and develop. It would need magick of some kind.
AND AN ADVENTURE!
What do you all think?

The magic and adventure do it for me. For example if I'm in a bad mood I just go to read my fantasy book and it takes me away to another world so it has to be mostly the magic for me.

Definitely the Magic and Adventure!!! That's a huge attention getter and it's intriguing.

Id have to agree with the magic and adventure, but maybe not soooo out there that you can't believe it. I read a book actually two books, from a trilogy called Sabriel and Lireal, abd it is about magick, and the dead, and going into dead and seeing the future, and this epic adventure she goes on with a free magic spirit creature trapped in the body of a cat - and hence the cat can talk, but it reads like a realism,. so it was cool.
A bit of love can be cute too I think, but not to much or it becomes a soppy love story.
Bad kittykitty, I think you would enjoy a book called Ash, a secret history. Based on fact, but written as a narrative. There are a few wierd pages though if you read it.
If a book had to have some kind of heartache in it, what kind would it be??? would it be like Harry Potter and his now imminent life of death or murder? Or would it be the loss of something precious? I can't fathom what it is that makes a good book sad. It seems to be mostly death, but is there anything else?
