Comment on this post below, and in your comment, answer any of the following questions that pique your interest or will demonstrate your reading of your book. :) (Aim to answer around three or four of them.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Required Information: </div><div>* Your Name</div><div>* Book and author</div><div><br /></div><div>Questions to Answer: </div><div>* Did you like the book? Why or why not? </div><div>* Did you sympathize with the main character? </div><div>* Did you see yourself in any of the characters?</div><div>* What is the theme? </div><div>* Did the book linger or stay with you?</div><div>* Was the book exciting? Uplifting? Depressing? Surprising?</div><div>* Would you read this author again?</div><div>* Was the book challenging? Easy?</div><div>* What did you think of the end of the book? </div><div>* Would you recommend the book to someone? Why or why not?</div><div>* What cautions do you have about the book? </div><div>* If the book is famous or highly notable, did it live up to the hype?</div><div><br /></div><div>or pose your own question, based on the book, and answer it. :) </div><div><br /></div><div>No need to use quotes or anything, unless there was something that you feel is just HAVE to share with the Internet World. Just speak candidly and thoroughly about your book from your own perspective. </div><div><br /></div><div>and.
