The author kept me involved in the story by multiple ways. The author really grasped me as a reader and made me want to keep reading. He/she also used similes and metaphors to really help me understand what is going on in the story. The author also had cliffhangers leaving me hangin'. The author described every single scene or character to help me visualize what is going on in the scene. He described it by the background, the size, shape, and color. The author really makes me feel as if I am one of the characters in the book.
