1. Three qualities I expect in a good book are interesting characters, compelling plot, and exciting events.
2. The books i have read so far are American Born Chinese and Safe Area Gorazde. The characters in Safe Area Gorazde are very fascinating . The characters back story's and different personalities make the story better and more gripping. It is a non fiction book but the way the tell the story of the Bosnian war makes it hard to put down. The insight it gives makes you fell the pain of the victims of the war and makes you have anger towards the chetnicks. There isn't much excitement but the story's of the survivors and the insight the book gives alone makes it a great book. In American Born Chinese the characters are very realistic and relate-able. The characters were also very humourous which makes it a fun read. The plot takes many twists and turn and never really knows whats going on until the end. I like that because it makes me try to guess and think about whats going to happen next. Many exciting things happened, also they all had a meaning. This was a great book because of those things.
