This week I am taking part in Friday's Book Blogger Hop, which is hosted by
Crazy for Books
Crazy for Books
I'm going to go and explore some of the other links over the weekend. If you'd like to join in the fun too, then head on over to Crazy for Books, read the rules, post your own link and away you go :)
The question this week for the book hop is from Alex at Geek on the Brink:
"What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters?"
"What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters?"
That's a really good question. When I'm browsing books in a shop or online, it's usually the plot synopsis that first gets me interested and makes me want to pick it up and read it. However, when I start reading, if the characters don't click with me then often not even a good plot can save it. So I guess I consider them both equally important!
HI stopping by to wish you a Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI say both too- though characters if the grab me , keep me going throuh even a slow plot.

ReplyDeleteI think plot is important of course, but I lean very heavily toward character on this vote. I can love slow books with well-developed characters but no plot is interesting enough to save a book if the characters are flat and unreal to me.

nice answer, i myself prefer strong characters over a strong plot :) visiting from the hop, your blog is lovely! i hope you can drop by my blog sometime, and have a wonderful weekend :)
ReplyDeleteJust hopping by... and I also agree with you. The plot will grab my attention, but the characters need to keep my attention.

Old follower stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that it's hard to care about the plot of a novel if the characters suck.
Happy Hop!
