Cress. The book is good, great actually. The author does a great job using figurative language to help bring the book to life. Similes are the most frequently used type. The similes used are also not always used to compare two items, but instead used to compare actions that would happen in reality.

It helps engage the reader and relate easier. "He kept rapidly blinking behind his glasses, like trying to clear away an eyelash, until his gaze fell away from her all together." (Meyer 328). This is an example of the similes the author uses. To me, I could easily relate to what the author was trying to describe because of the comparison she used.

      Although the book uses good figurative language, is does not use as much diction as it could. Every now and then there will be a good descriptive word, yet the book could use a few more. Sometimes, the book can feel repetitive in word description in areas where there isn't much diction. Thus making that section a very easy read. I think the book could use a little more to make it a more challenging read. Even with only some diction and a lot of figurative language, the book is still a great read.
