It can also make them really bad, though, when they're not done properly...<br /><br />And yes, I love Ellen Hopkins - she's the author that first got me into verse!Hannah Doermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797679970202012252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-37488549326345917002012-10-05T08:54:18.695+02:002012-10-05T08:54:18.695+02:00I am firmly in the I love verse novels camp, BUT n...I am firmly in the I love verse novels camp, BUT not all verse novels are the same... It takes a truly talented writer to really master the verse novel. In verse, you have to be very careful with the words you chose, because you don't get as many, which means that every word counts, and you can't rely so much on description, and you just have to FEEL it. Lisa Schroeder is one of my very favorites, and this is my absolute favorite of hers (and the first that I read :) ). <br /><br />Ellen Hopkins is another that you should try. Her writing is incredible.
