I can't believe it seems to be unanimous in favor of characters - I feel the same for the record, though a good plot will get me through most books, the books I constantly go back to are character driven.<br /><br />Also glad to see so many people liked the title, that one was tough for me. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399498511205119227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-14640519780155414722011-03-09T19:32:07.026-05:002011-03-09T19:32:07.026-05:00Hunting Human sounds like an interesting story, Am...Hunting Human sounds like an interesting story, Amanda. I look forward to reading it. For me, it's character first, story a close second.

They can be sitting on the couch for all I care as long as the interaction between them is entertaining. Of course, the story matters but not as much as the characters.

I finish the book and give it away and usually I don't buy another of the author's books.When I connect on a personal,emotional level with the hero and heroine I really feel as though I am there experiencing what they do and can imagine myself a part of the story or even one of the characters.Pamala Owldreamernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-42033166302083492322011-03-09T12:39:38.901-05:002011-03-09T12:39:38.901-05:00Definitely characters!

I like a tight, solid plot too, of course, but I'd rather read fascinating people talking around a dinner table than flat, wooden characters saving the world.Susanna Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149293228696867804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-16896832435836895432011-03-09T08:01:06.367-05:002011-03-09T08:01:06.367-05:00Characters all the way!
