Tone and Mood Exit Slip.
The tone of my book, Live Wire, is a mysterious tone where the author doesn't want to let you know too much all at once and I know that because the antagonists in the story trying to keep Myron away from finding his sister in law lie and mislead him in order to confuse him and mess him up. A time when a character's tone impacted his persuasiveness was when this guy named Lex tries to keep Myron away from Kitty, the sister in law. He becomes all philosophical (often a good sign someone is lying or not saying everything) about meddling with other people's affairs and actually compares Myron to the US trying to solve the problems of other countries while in some cases make it worse. His philosophical tone really makes the reader think just like Myron whether what he's doing is necessary or even right.

So the plot of this book is just about this guy "Myron" and his journey to try and find his sister in law? Please enlighten me more. :)
ReplyDeleteThe finer points of the book can be found in my slightly older posts, if you really care what happens in the book. You can also get the book from most libraries, as Harlan Coben is an emerging but popular author
DeleteDo you think it is difficult for authors to let you know tiny peices without giving everything away because they (hopefully) already know how it ends?
ReplyDeleteYes I think that it is difficult and i know from alittle past experience whenever I try to write something.
