Spring Into Books!

of
Former.ly: The Rise and Fall of a Social Network:
"Excellent read with many unexpected twists. Sort of a low-key Michael Crichton vibe to it, with slight thriller elements and an interesting behind-the-scenes look at a startup social network that felt authentic and would possibly even make for a succ"

Amber Adamchuk's review
of
Former.ly: The Rise and Fall of a Social Network:
"A good read, some spots where a little drawn out for me but overall I enjoyed the book. What people will do for fame, fortune, and the little dark secrets that come with it. A few twist and turns on the who, and why especially at the end :) "

rated a book it was amazing

| This book was exactly what I expected from a YA Academy book, and I'm just fine with that. Today was a rough day and I needed a book that didn't stress my reading brain, but was still interesting and this book hit both of those points. Eventually I'l ...more | |

“There is a distinct difference between "suspense" and "surprise," and yet many pictures continually confuse the two. I'll explain what I mean.
We are now having a very innocent little chat. Let's suppose that there is a bomb underneath this table between us. Nothing happens, and then all of a sudden, "Boom!" There is an explosion. The public is surprised, but prior to this surprise, it has seen an absolutely ordinary scene, of no special consequence. Now, let us take a suspense situation. The bomb is underneath the table and the public knows it, probably because they have seen the anarchist place it there. The public is aware the bomb is going to explode at one o'clock and there is a clock in the decor. The public can see that it is a quarter to one. In these conditions, the same innocuous conversation becomes fascinating because the public is participating in the scene. The audience is longing to warn the characters on the screen: "You shouldn't be talking about such trivial matters. There is a bomb beneath you and it is about to explode!"
In the first case we have given the public fifteen seconds of surprise at the moment of the explosion. In the second we have provided them with fifteen minutes of suspense. The conclusion is that whenever possible the public must be informed. Except when the surprise is a twist, that is, when the unexpected ending is, in itself, the highlight of the story.”
