Reading Response 1, Week 4

This week's reading response will be about Abducted by Circumstance by David Madden. Sadly this week I wasn't able to make it to hear the author of this book read his, although confusing, great novel. There was a lot to aspire to achieve from reading this book. David Madden not only wrote this work that contains every potential pitfall, but also succeeded in never falling into the pits. In class, we discussed that he pulled this off by juggling the subjects. When I say juggling i mean never staying too long on one subject, but giving just enough information in each category. Overall I would honestly say that the book taught me a lot about specificity and being engulfed in a character, even a protagonist/antagonist of the opposite sex. This book inspired me to write a lot of my current pieces. I wanted to achieve some of his great writing techniques.
