Favourite Character. It depends on what I’m
reading I suppose. When I was reading Harry Potter I loved Harry, when I was
reading the Night Angel Trilogy I really liked Kyler, when I read the
Obernewtyn chronicles I really liked Elspeth and of course the dark humour
inside of me made me love Dexter…. I have to really like the main character of
a book to enjoy it. To pick a favourite would be hard but I will have to say
that the characters in the tomorrow series were my favourites, especially
Ellie. It’s written from first person and so John Marsden was able to create a
character with a lot of depth. I felt I empathized with Ellie a lot. She thinks
in the same way that I would but with a lot more bravery. She’s the kickass,
rough country girl with creativity and leadership. She’s not perfect; she’s
stubborn, she has her selfish moments
and there are times of weakness. It was the adventure of my early teen years. I
read the series when I was in year 8. I would borrow them from the school
library and stay up all night reading them. It was a series packed with action,
but not lacking morals, sprinkled with a little bit of romance. If it wasn't
for this series I’d probably be the girl who read a couple of books and the
Harry Potter series and that's it. If
you asked me tomorrow I may have another favourite character. It may be the
dark night’s joker or even Bellatrix….
