• Try to make more emotion and feeling come through, more hints to raw, personal experience
• Alluding sentences to leave the reader feeling more mystery
• There's the occasional times where a word is missing or a sentence has all words but some in the wrong order
• There's still the occasional typos here and there
Review -
'Natalie's Diary' is a mysterious and intriguing story that builds on drama, excitement and mystery throughout. The character is presented as someone who can identify with the readers straight away, with original thoughts clear and distinctive. The events are surreal and engaging, begging the reader to find solace in reading on. The first impression of the story is dramatic, edgy and horrifying - it really startles the reader and forces them to listen, especially the opening line of 'It began with a scream', showing a thrilling start to a brilliant story. The story hugely develops as it goes through and I can't wait til I read on from Chapter six and up to the very end! The allusive and tense atmosphere really pulls the reader in and holds onto them. It's definitely a book I'd find myself often and randomly thinking about if I didn't finish it.
