Feature and Follow #28 (take the place of an author)
What is Feature and Follow?
F&F is a weekly blog hop that consists of book bloggers. It is hosted byAlison Can Read and Parajunkee. The rules of involvement are simple:
1.) Link up on the blog hop Linky gadget below this post, 2.) follow the hosts via their network of choice, 3.) follow the weekly featured blog(s) via their network of choice (listed as "featured" in the blog list below), and lastly, 4) check out the rest of the blogs on the hop! If you become a new follower of a blog, let them know and they will follow you back.
The F&F is a great way to network, meet other book bloggers, and gain new followers. Even more so, it's a great way to drive fun discussion on a weekly topic.
This Week's FF:
If you could take the place of one author, which author would it be and what changes would you make in his/her writing style?
I couldn't do it. I know that I have a very different writing style compared to others. I wouldn't say it's rare, but it's not the most common thing for me to "recognize" an author's style as my own. When I do there's a completely different level of connection I have for the book. I'm not a style snob though. As long as something is readable and has a plot, I can get into it. Even going between all the different POVs and styles that come with those.
The one "stylistic" thing that gets to me the most (though I wouldn't call it style as much as I would talent) is when a (usually) female tries to write a masculine character that ends up sounding exactly like all the female characters. There's too many books to call out on that one so I won't even start ;)

I have to admit I have also struggled with female authors being able to provide a reasonable voice to their male characters. It's ironic that men who claim to never understand women, tend to do a better job at capturing their voice.

I've also noticed that men don't seem to have as much trouble switching voices...interesting to think about. Thanks for stopping by!
