Dear Anthony Burgess,So far I love A Clockwork Orange and its been great each page. Things that have worked well is the detailed violence and how it started just in the first ten pages of the book, you don't filly around you just start the book off for all the lewdies reading. I don't think you should make a sequel and if you tried it might be difficult due to the fact that you are dead. But great book, I look forward to your others.
KEY:
Filly: Play
Lewdies: People
Dear Suzanne CollinsI think your a really good writer and I look forward to any future investments. I like your writing because you are very descriptive and I like your use of imagination. Please tell me this though; Did you ever enjoy or like the movie adaption to one of your books ''The Hunger Games'' ? The question only applies if you seen it. Please keep up the nice work and I hope to see sequels to your fascinating books.
Dear Katniss Everdeen,You'r ultimate goal is to keep Peeta alive right? Some tips on how to do so is that you stand up to the capital and take the blame for everything, yes bad things may happen to you but they will allow Petta to live which is your ultimate goal? However if you don' believe this is a liable option you can pretend to have no interest in Petta outside the arena, so the capital will not see Petta as someone they can hurt to get to you. If you intend on standing up to the capital you should go with option 2,
Sincerely Laszlo
Dear John Saul, So far I've liked the story you've written and I have little interest in the plot. Not trying to offend you of anything, it's just I don't really read book because they always bore me. The story here, is unique in its own way but not that far from being like any other book in the genre. I know it's hard to understand my point when I'm giving you compliments and insults, but try to stay with me. Reading your book, I've liked the use of description of feelings and setting. On the other hand, I don't like how you change the story to different characters. It was fine when you switch members in Caroline's family, but I lost interest when you changed it to Anthony, Irene, Rebecca, and three more characters. The only acceptation is Andrea. I have not finished the book, however, what I've read so far, I do not think this book deserves a sequel because you'll just drag out the story.
Dear James Frey, I feel as if your writing is Phenomenal, your details and connections to someones everyday life story keeps me in wonder.Even though i was told most of the things you wrote about was false, I believe you understand writing more then I ever will. You create adventure, love, and being misunderstood exciting. I hope that I get the chance to read many more of you stories fiction and all. You give me ideas to write poetry and that is why I list you as a role model.
Dear Vladek,I have nothing but respect for you, surviving through the conditions you had to go through. It's terrible that something like this could ever happen. It's even more incredible it only happened about 70 years ago. I hope that something of this scale will never happen again. I respect you once again, and I'm really sympathetic about your losses. I can't begin to understand what it would be like to be a Jewish person in the Holocaust. Thank God you made it out alive.
Dear Mr. Mersault,You are a strange man. You have no remorse for killing a man you didn't even know. You do not seem to have any feelings at all. To be honest I think you have serious problems. I think you should at least pretend to have some form of remorse so you don't go to jail for more time. The jury thinks you don't have a soul. I think it might help you if you at least tried to "fake it t'ill you make it''. Well I really don't think you care if you go to jail or not but you might regret it.
Dear Stephen Schwartz,I love the show, Pippin, everything is perfect. But that is only because of the freedom that you give every person who puts the show on. Each production is completely different from the one before it. But how do you write something that is so open to the directors interpretation?
Dear john green, l really want to know what happens to hazel after augustus waters dies. Like does she ever find love again and does her cancer ever go away?
I think this book is amazing and I love how you make the readers fall in love with the characters and and their stories.
Dear Rick Riordan,I really enjoy how you were able to show the points of view of every character in the "House of Hades" . I feel that maybe in the next you could expand on Percy's aggression more because in this book Annabeth seemed to be scared of his anger.
Dear Mary Downing Hahn,What worked well is the way you build suspense. It helps create the mood for the story. What didn't work well was it took to long to reach the climax. In a sequel you should make more interesting events leading up to the climax.
Dear Henning Mankell,So far in the book Shadows in the Twilight is that you were able to have a story that was interesting for the reader to get a grasp on. I thought that I wasn't as interested in it because I hadn't read the book that was before it. A sequel could go along with it about another of his classmates in another p.o.v.
If you're writing to the author, give them some advice on what has worked well in the book and what hasn't, and what might work well for a sequel.
If you're writing to a main character in the book, give them some insight or advice about how they might improve their situation or standing in the book and make things better for themselves or other characters.
