Sample excerpts from 15 different authors from around the
world.
This book delivers exactly what it promises. The
Atria takes the works of authors from around the world and gives just of a
sample of each. Some samples are just
one chapter and some a little longer, but all of them leave the reader
hanging.
Choosing a book by the title and a short description of the
story line can sometimes leave me disappointed. Although the plot may be good,
the writing is flowery or overly descriptive which is just not what I enjoy. With a sampler like this, I was also able to
determine whether I like the style in which the author writes.
I think the one that piqued my interest the most was the
sample from Shunning Sarah by Julie Kramer. Her main character, Riley Spartz is
a female a television investigative journalist in Minneapolis .
I not only was interested in the topics,
but was able to decide whether or not I would like her writing style.
