A Good Book

A Good Book

By: Brandon Rhew

I know this sounds nerdy but,
What makes a good book?
Well I’ll give you a hint 
It isn’t how long it is or how many pictures are in it
Is it the author or the reader?
In my eyes its both 
The author makes the book
With it’s own story and it’s own characters

Wether they are original ideas or just another cliche.
The reader takes these elements to shape an entire world,
In their own unique view that the author may not have thought of
What makes a good book is the value to encourage
The reader to reread that same book for all the minor details,
Whether they’re there or not.

What makes a good but is the reader,
The author and the inspiration that the author used.
Not the public opinion because they just tell you what you want to hear

Brandon, Welcome to PoetrySoup, my friend. You are right about the story, it is always the story and the characters that make it good or awful when I am the reader.
