Letter to the author

March 30th,2010



Dear Will Leitch,




The book “Catch” is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone that ask to recommend a good book. I love some of the conversations that the main character Tim has with his co-worker Helena. My favorite part is when Tim describes Helena when he walks in to the room for his interview at the plant. Tim and Helena relationship of how mean they are to each other cracks me up. My favorite prank is when Tim sticks, sticky notes Helena disk. I thought the sticky note situation was cute and funny. I like how the story is based on a small town in Illinois and gives readers a taste of what Illinois is like in away. One of the reasons why I picked up this book , is because the story is based on a small town in Illinois and I thought “how cool a story about my state and also the author from the same state”. I think it is awesome to read a book about a story based in the state I live in. I do have a few questions that I had come to mind about that book while reading. Is the story based on your experiences? Did you observe the behavior in the small towns in Illinois in order to write the book? What inspired you to write the book? Have you always been a writer? How many years did you go to school before you wrote your first book? How much dose a writer make off a published book? If you could answer these questions I would greatly appreciate it. Since I have been reading the story I will say I am interested in reading other books you have published. I think you should continue writing amazing book so I can continue reading them.



Sincerely,

JAMIE

My last post I talked about how I was going to began reading the book "Blackwood Farm" by Anne Rice. In the last post I discribed what I had investigated from reading the back cover and what other people had told me about the book. I began reading the book with joy to find out who my exact main characters would be. So far in to the book my main characters are Quinn, Goblin and Lestat. Quinn starts the story off with a letter he writes to Lestat in help to get rid of his best companion Goblin. Goblin is threating his friend Quinn by hurting him after he has his dinner. By the word "dinner" I mean vampire dinner. Not only is Goblin a threat to Quinn his friend, Goblin is also a threat to the vampire race for his thirst for blood. Somthing has to be done to Goblin or he could wipe out the whole vampire race as Quinn knows it. Quinn wrote the letter but is not sure that Lestat will come to help him or will kill him and Goblin both for the sake of the vampire race. I feel this letter that Quinn wrote to Lestat is going to be a big part of the book to what going to happen to Quinn and Goblin. I am still reading to find out when my favorite character Lestat is going to show up in the book. When Lestat shows up to Quinn's house I am sure the book is going to get more intense then it already is, because Lestat is one of the oldest vampires around and most knowledgeable. I would recomend this book to anyone who enjoys Ann Rice novels or vampire novels. Overall from what I have read I like the book and the vocabulary that I have learn so far from reading.

I would like to comment that I have finish reading the book "LIAR". SO This week I am going to begin reading A book by Ann Rice called, "Blackwood Farm". My mom sugested this book to me because I enjoy reading fantasy and about vampires. I have not read the book yet but I am going to begin reading the book today. The story takes place down south on a farm, near a swamp. My main chachter is name Quinn who is made in to a vampire against his will, losing all that he owns and has work hard for. This terrifies Quinn as he is on the search for the vampire Lestat. Quinn is in the hope to find some ansers to some screts that the swamp near his house conceals. Vampir Lestat is a chacter in many other of Ann Rice books such as "interview with the vampir and "Queen of the Dam". I enjoy reading those two books and when I relized that Lestat was going to play a roll in the book "Blackwood Farm" I became excited. Lestat is one of my favorite charcters that Ann Rice writes into many of her books. I am curious to read and find out the time setting that the book was written in to. Many of Ann Rice stories take place in todays time but reflecting alot on past history settings. Well this all I know about this book and now it is time to stop bloggin and start reading. I am wanting to read this book really bad to find out what Lestat is going to do next in this story.
