Review Of: True Love

True Love By Rosechan777

Introduction: 9

I loved the introduction to this as it keeps you wondering. It hooks you in and keeps you reading which is what a good introduction does. It introduces the senses and allows the free thought of where she is and what’s going on, yet those questions remain unanswered which is the beauty of it and what makes it so intriguing, to make sure that to find out why she is in that scene you have to follow her story. It’s a great opening.

Characters: 7

The characters are good especially her character to get into her head, yet there is no description. I realise you put a picture on the side for Chase? However for me it’s so much better to describe it because then the reader can put their own image in their heads and match it to the personality. You can even keep the picture there, just as long as you describe them. Her character is mysterious though, I really enjoyed finding out the little bits that made her human, the way you were dropping the hints. It’s good; they just need that little more description for the imagery effect.

Plot: 9

I haven’t seen another plot like it. It’s really quite imaginative. Like you mentioned in the actual chapter itself people use the word slut not only in their writing but in everyday life and they don’t sit down and ask the person why they behave the way they do. It’s a clever aspect that you have taken and I really like the different ways it can take you.

Grammar: 7

There were basic spelling mistakes to do with the use of ‘they’re’ - used for ‘they are’. Also there were some others here and there, yet other than that it wasn’t too bad. The sentence structure was good and the range of punctuation was good too, just try to vary it a little and also the sentence starters so it isn’t too repetitive.

Page Turner: 8

I am going to be turning the page and continuing to read because it has a very good concept and I enjoyed reading it. Just make sure that you keep the same pace all the way through and try to stay away from breaking up your story with things like the – The next day – etc. Because it breaks up the story. If you are getting to a stage like that then just don’t put ‘the next day’ bit in or just end the chapter and go back and add more detail.
