Yeah cliffies are awesome! Even though they make me mad :) they are successful in getting me to want to read more.
This is kind of weird, but I also like it when the author is good at writing the character's emotions when they are in pain. Like...torture. That sounds weird. I don't know, I just like it when the author makes me really feel for the character and want to help them, but I can't and I get this desperate wrenching feeling in my gut.
I don't remember if I've read that book or not...
I think it's really interesting when the author writes in the present tense, like in Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements. Like, it says, "I wake up in the morning and the sun is streaming through the window. I walk into the bathroom, take a shower, and look in the mirror. 'What's wrong with the mirror?' I think. I'm invisible. And then I scream."
