The reason why I
became a book reviewer was not only because my love for reading but
because of my concerns for this age of immediate publication and the quality of
the books that are being written and published. I fear that this will lower the
reading standards of our future generations. I feel as a reader and a parent
,that we must filter out these poorly written books and find the gems! They’re
out there but we must stumble over many to find them.
One of the concerns I have is I’m seeing more and more stories that contain adjectives in front of almost every single noun. I find that it hurts the integrity of the story and distracts the reader. If the adjective helps the quality of the word, then fine. In my opinion a strong writer knows when to use the “perfect” adjective. Another issue I have with adjectives is the use of what I call, “cliche” adjectives. I find them useless and again it lowers the quality of the story.
I hope that writers take what I say with a grain of salt , really consider my input as a reader and put it to good use.
