Dan Brown Biography
Dan Brown
Who is Dan Brown? Dan Brown is an extensive writer whose work has inspired many writers and directors. For instance, the ever popular book The Da Vinci Code was converted into a movie. For his hard work, he won numerous works such as the “The New York Times Best Seller”. All five of his books have been translated into forty languages around the world. Most of his readers deeply appreciate his fascinating ideas, his mysterious series of events, and how his novels are action packed. First, I think he is a thriller writer but he doesn’t write about the usual thriller story, he usually writes about religious secret society and a lot of ancient puzzles or maze that the character will solve. This way it presents some aspects of reality and mixed with some fiction which makes the reader think that it is possible in the near future. His book is fiction but its link so much to the real world, people, religion, artifacts and a lot more. That technique makes you think of the secret plot and story weeks after you have read the book. He also sometimes takes a well known fact and add some new things to it or take something away. For instance, in the Da Vinci Code, He took Leonardo Da Vinci’s work and says it’s a work of the secret society Priory of Sion. That way it makes you want to find out all about it and that makes you keep on reading. He also likes to mention scientific facts mixed with religious topic. It also doesn’t just talk about religious topics he also like in involve some science so its suits a variety of people. The science that are involved aren’t usually existing but he took existing science and tweaked it a little. It became something brand new but still seems realistic. Second of the reason is the way that he organizes the story. The most common way of keeping someone reading is to use a “cliff hanger”. A “cliff hanger” is a way of ending a scene or a chapter which leaves the reader hanging by cutting of the obvious answer or ending so that

    When you have such elegantly written work, it puts the reader constantly wanting more. But with the occasional wall, I found myself rather quickly skimming through to get back to the actual storyline while previous astonishments remained fresh. This ultimately creates several moments that the reader becomes disconnected from the book and often times misses out on juicy information sometimes embedded in the babbling.…

    Another reason I think this book is unique is because of its style. Rodriguez’s writing style is unlike that of any other books I have read. Rodriguez often writes with short sentences; I even feel like he is just writing anything that comes to his mind. While this can get a bit confusing, it gives…

    Yes, it’s how the author drew you into the story, had you sitting on the edge of your seat, biting your nails, wondering what's gonna happen next, longing for more. This is all called suspense. The author uses this tactics to pull you into his world, causing you to urn for more, he introduces you to the characters, making you feel like you know them, like their your friends or enemies depending on the book, then he sucks you in even deeper with a few plot twists you didn’t see coming, has you sitting up screaming, “no way”! Suspense makes connections with the reader and the book then brings it to life. Suspense brings you into the book, grabs your attention and takes you for a wild emotionally tantalizing ride. Basically suspense gets you in its hands and doesn't let you go all the way through the entirety of the book until you close the last page, sit back, gasping, saying to yourself, “wow, didn’t see that coming” and then you wanna read it all over again. That’s suspense and worth every page you…

    Review of Michael vey

    I think that the author forges sentences that put you in the room and make you feel the pain and the frustration of the characters. The author perfectly mixes the real world with the abnormal events that happen to Michael Vey. The author starts out with a mysterious call between two men talking about blowing up a commercial airliner, which automatically sucks the reader into the book. It then transitions to the story of this boy named Michael Vey and while it all might seem perfectly normal the author then throws a curveball and introduce the powers that this boy possesses.…

    One of the many contributing factors, to readers finding this novel enjoyable is that, like a TV series, Great Expectations was presented in a serialised format in which Dickens had to introduce cliff-hangers to keep his readers gripped and keen to read his next part. An example of this comes at the end of chapter two, when Dickens leaves Pip running home to complete the feat Magwitch or ‘the Convict’ set him. “But, now I was frightened again, and ran home without stopping.” This is a perfect example of one of the numerous cliff-hangers, that hooks the reader. Constant moments of suspense and exiting plot turns, makes readers find Great Expectations gripping and thrilling.…

    Except in some of the most long-winded stories, a work of fiction focuses on a short period of time. We, the readers, are then forced to make judgments about the various characters based on what we observe. But this often does not do enough. We assume a character is good or bad, but we seldom truly know. Even less often do we know why. In "Jane Eyre," we know that Jane loves Edward Rochester, and we know that he loves her, so why then does he only want her as a mistress? And we also wonder why he seems to be very close about certain life details and his dealings with others. Then it is revealed that he is already married to a woman who is violently insane. Thus we find out his true character. We learn that he is a…

    In a 1982 interview, Sheldon said that he tried to write his books so that readers would not put them down without completing. He constructed the novel in such a way that when the reader got to the end of the chapter, he or she was compelled to read the next. It’s the technique of the old Soap operas- “leave the guy hanging on the edge of the cliff at the end of the chapter”. Besides simply using suspense he also used the right…
