DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Her Every Fear |
1. Talk about the characters,
both good and bad. Describe their personalities and motivations. Are
they fully developed and emotionally complex? Or are they flat,
one-dimensional heroes and villains?
a.
Do they enhance the story, add
complexity, and build suspense?
b.
Are they plausible or implausible?
c.
Do they feel forced and
gratuitous—inserted merely to extend the story?
6. Does the author ratchet up the suspense?
Did you find yourself anxious—quickly turning pages to learn what
happened? A what point does the suspense start to build? Where does it
climax...then perhaps start rising again?
a.
Is the conclusion probable or
believable?
b.
Is it organic, growing out of clues
previously laid out by the author (see Question 3)?
c.
Or does the ending come out of the
blue, feeling forced or tacked-on?
d.
Perhaps it's too predictable.
e.
Can you envision a different or better
ending?
8. Are there certain passages in
the book—ideas, descriptions, or dialogue—that you found interesting or
revealing...or that somehow struck you? What lines, if any, made you
stop and think?
