5 question to ask at a bookclub?
Answers:
I was recently someone's guest at a book club; I've never been surrounded by one myself.
Typical questions they posed which might apply to any work of fiction:
Why did the author set this story where and when s/he did? Would it have worked set elsewhere? Why or why not?
Was the climax satisfying? Why? What other ending might have be equally satisfying?
Why did the author use the point-of-view (POV) character that s/he did? Could the story have be told just as well though another character's eyes and ears? Who?
How was the protagonist a well-rounded individuality? What does the reader know about his or her background, family, fears, hopes, disappointments, finances, opinion, etc. which do not directly affect the plot?
What made the antagonist a good foil for the protagonist? What, if anything, could have done to increase this character?
Would you like to spend an evening with the biggest character? Why, or why not?
If you're a casting director, what five actors would you consider for the basic characters?
What did you think the author's strengths as a writer are? What were the weaknesses?
Did the book ever engineer you laugh, cry, gasp, or evoke another strong reaction? Where? If it did not, would it own been improved if it had?
Will you read other books by this author? Why, or why not?
