Which author’s writing style is unique to you and why?
?????
Nicholas Sparks
He uses easy language and writes in a way which touches heart.
I love Jodi Picoult’s writing. She has such a great way of explaining different points of view. She really gives you all sides to a story.
I love jennifer l armentrouts style because she is good with several genres.
Pepper winters because she has such a good way of telling a story and she is amazing with dark and heart wrenching books.
Kerri maniscalco is also very amazing.
And ofcouse jk rowling ❤️
I think Victoria/VE Schwab’s writing style is so unique and specific to her. She does an amazing job switching from adult/ya/middle grade books while never losing her writing style but adapting it to which readers are the demographic. She’s my favorite writer.
@Heather That’s pretty cool to know. I have not delved into any of her books yet. Which one do you reckon would be great to start with?
Jasper Fforde has such a gift with language..l enjoy his cleverness..he paints his imagination with words??
Love Thursday Next
Haruki Murakami – makes you think and gives you the opportunity to see it in your own way – your own perspective. Has a philosophical slant in that his characters are searching for meaning – to understand
Claire North. Hard to describe her writing style. Confusing at times and very thought-provoking.
Thomas Burnett Swann andOscar Wilde for their poetic prose Alasdair Gray and Franz Kafka for their strong imagination, Zamyatin and George Orwell for their unique insight into politics.
Sharyn McCrumb, truly she is a force of nature, her intensity in bringing forth the intricate propensities of the Appalachian inhabitants and the folklore in her Ballad series is so special, it has moved the earth under my feet. “She walks these hills” “the ballad of Tom Dooley” “the devil amongst lawyers” are so extraordinary. Anyone who knows even something about what I read knows that Elizabeth Goudge is my Guru as far writing style is concerned. So of course for me she is the most unique writer?
I give George R.R Martin high praise. He writes BEAUTIFULLY, without any unnecessary prose or other baggage. And his use of imagination is so tactful…just the right dose of fantasy to make the world building completely believable and immersive.
I think Samantha Shannon has a pretty epic writing style too. Her Bone Season Series so far has just been AWESOME. I feel she has a more mature take on YA fantasy, avoiding all the cheesy cliches and overdone tropes. She’s incredibly strong at world building, and her action scenes pack a punch.
Diana Gabaldon in the first Outlander book…. I have yet to read a book that matches her master pace of narrative and flow of plot. Beautiful writer.
James Ellroy. His prose is spare and cutting sharp.
I really like Maeve Binchy. I’m rereading all of her stuff this year.
Ellen Hopkins! She writes in verse & often tackles heavy subjects.
David Mitchell. His ability to write in completely different styles is amazing. (See Cloud Atlas)
A. S. Byatt for the same reason, but perhaps with even more ability. (See Possession)
Colm Toibin. Nearly everything he writes is a quiet treasure.
Kwame Alexander(each chapter is a poem) James Patterson(short chapters that make it seem easy to read a 400 page book)
Stephen King, I don’t enjoy his style but it is unique.
Hemingway. He has an efficiency of writing that is unique. You either love it or you hate it, but he writes like a reporter, which he was for years.
Edgar Allan Poe . Very very unique
Lynsay Sands. She always makes me feel better and is so easy to immerse myself in.
I recently read Haruki Murakami for the first time. I thought his style was pretty unique.
@Jana He’s wonderful isn’t he? Which one did you read?
Kafka On The Shore
@Jana My favourite of his is ‘Colourless’. It’s really really good.
Ray Bradbury. It always takes me a bit to adjust to his style of description. His words are so visual…hard to explain…
Quite a few – and any kind of adequate answer would take hours.
Wilbur Smith.Unpredictable outcomes.Twists and turns of the plots.Unique style.And a background of our beloved African landscape.I usually feel part of the book
Mark Z. Danielewski… his books are a visual treat worthy of being exhibited in an art gallery for their ingenuity.
House of Leaves gets you turning the book 360° degrees at some point to read it. His other books are also very creative but a little harder to read. You need to be an ‘active’ reader to consume his books.
Jim Carroll. His writing is poetic and powerful. And his books are hard and real
Ellen Hopkins is an amazing author who writes each page in various poem styles. She tackles serious subjects and because of her style you can read a huge book like you’re eating Bon Bon. One after another and all of a sudden you’re done with the box (aka book).
I have always found the writing style of Roald Dahl a fascinating one. The way he had improvised the English language in his short stories and novels is superb. And his plots are marvellous. I love Dahl’s prose and verse alike. He was a genius.
