What do you think makes a good book?

Answer 1

What elements make a good book? wow what a good question!!!

We all have our own take, but this how I feel about this question. Some readers like action, some prefer romance—a little of both. The one thing all readers share is their strong opinions.

For Your Consideration: 6 Elements of a Good Book

So what elements make a good book?

1. Theme

The book should mean something, or at least make you think about something in a new way.

2. Characters

Strong characters. I loathe reading cardboard characters.

Good characters we care about. They can make the most tired or ridiculous plot seem fresh and absorbing.

Well-developed characters that I actually care about, not just flat names.

3. Takeaway Value

Besides the usual, a good story should [have] anaerobic element; something to challenge the mind.

Truth about human nature.

A relevant message that speaks to the reader.–Sarah Holman

4. Satisfying Ending

A happy ending.

A happy ending isn’t as important as a satisfying ending. You can make me cry, but make me glad I read to The End.–Lorna G. Poston

5. Good Mechanics

Words

“Good book” is so entirely relative. But I think when it gets right down to it a good book must have meaning behind the action, and action behind the characters. The world must work with the characters and story and vice versa, and the more intense this bond the better. I myself strongly prefer good timing, subtlety, and interwoven foreshadowing, though these aren’t strictly necessary

“The most interesting story is always the story of the writer’s style,”.

6. Unpredictability

A story that is not predictable.

In Summation…

A good book slowly grabs you by the soul without your knowledge. By the time you’re in tears and laughing at the top of your lungs at the same time it’s too late.

Answer 2

Characters! My favorite Science Fiction author is/was Orson Scott Card, whose books always had strong, relatable characters. Anybody who has read "Ender's Game" (Watching the movie doesn't count!) or "Speaker for the Dead" knows this. Card published a small guide to developing characters that helped me immensely! Since I was in my late teens, I have written stories for my own enjoyment, though some of my friends said I should send a couple to a publisher. But, that's not my game.
