What effect does exaggeration in writing have on readers?
Exaggeration can have different effects. For example, it conveys the sense of overwhelming odds even about very ordinary circumstances. "Every time Mattie kills a million mosquitoes, two million more come to bite her flesh." Obviously, Mattie did not kill (or see) a million mosquitoes, but they are so annoying that a dozen mosquitoes can feel like "a million". Exaggeration can also come across as sarcasm. The trite line, "If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I'd be rich!" could be exaggerated to "If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I'd be a billionaire!" Exaggeration can also add to description through metaphor and simile, for example, "The young disabled man stood bent to the ground like a ice laden sapling." Obviously, a young disabled man doesn't bend "to the ground" when standing, nor is he a tree sapling, nor is he covered in ice, but each piece gives a vivid picture of his physical condition through use of exaggeration in a "like" analogy.
