Basher’s tales
The author’s writing style I like the most is Vaikkom Muhammad Basher Anyone who knows Malayalam can easily understand his writings, every Malayali has read at least one of his books. He makes his readers laugh and cry through his comedy. His main characters are prisoners, beggars, and others who don’t get importance in the society. Basher participated in Indian freedom struggle with Gandhiji. His famous novel “Balyakala Sakhi” (Childhood friend) was later turned into a film which used the same slang as Basher. And also, he has the highest number of readers in Malayalam. Because of all these reasons, he is my favourite author with an awesome writing style.
Enid Blyton
The author, whose writing style I like the most is Enid Blyton. I am reading her bestsellers “Famous Five” and “Secret Seven”. She uses simple yet interesting language, which makes it easy to understand, for young readers like me. Some of her books like “Famous Five” are hard to put down, because they increase your curiosity and you have to know what is going to happen next. I can read her books multiple times. She gives such detailed descriptions in her books that you can actually picture the entire scene, as if you are watching a movie. I actually feel sad when I finish reading her book, as the excitement gets over. Although her books were written long back, they remain relevant even today. Even when I know it’s fiction, I can’t help feeling that the stories are true. Reading Enid Blyton has not only helped me increase my reading speed, but also improved my vocabulary.
Julia Donaldson
My favourite author is Julia Donaldson. I like the rhythmic flow of her storytelling style. There will always be a lesson to learn at the end of her book. You should not let adversities bring you down” is the theme in most of her writings. Not just her writing, but the illustrations in her books too breathe life into her stories. I have read many of her books but my most loved ones are “The Gruffalo”. “The Paper Dolls”, “Supenworm”, “The Singing Mermaid”, “Freddie and the Fairy”, “The Princess and the Wizard”, “The Smartest Giant in Town” and “The Troll”.
David Walliams
I love David Walliams’s style of writing as it has humorous and imaginative. I like his creativity use of adjectives. It makes reading fun. One common character in all of his books is Raj: the way he weaves Raj in all his stories is incredible. There are lots of emotional situations in his stories, but he blends all these perfectly with humour. Mostly all his stories have a happy ending, and that is my favourite part. Basically, his writing speaks of having faith in the face of horrific problems or situations; it doesn’t really matter if we are physically weak, but we must have right intentions and logic. I have read most of David Walliams’s books and I am waiting for the next one…
Ruskin Bond
The boy from hills with his “Room on the Roof has captivated my heart. I am talking about the author of the “Blue Umbrella” and many other classics, Ruskin Bond. With his 450 short stories and semi-biographical accounts of his life, Bond inspires me every day. Usually, his novel reflects his own life stories. His first novel “Room on the Roof tells us about his enmity with his guardian. He had to overcome loneliness and many other setbacks before becoming a successful writer. After the release of his first book, he became the recipient on Jhon Llewellyn Rhys Prize (1957) and his life changed for the better. His writing style is very simple yet touching. He always gives an open ending to his stories, which stimulates my thought process. In just a few sentences, he describes even the worst part of his life, in a best kind of way. I set Bond as my ideal because he didn’t let obstacles stand in his way and went on to achieve honours such as Sahitya Akademi (1992), Padma Shri (1999) and Padma Bhushan (2012).
R.K Narayan
The author whose writing style I love most is R.K Narayan. The creator of the imaginary South Indian fictional town, Malgudi It’s the town where he set mostly all his stories. The main thing I love about Narayan’s books is that he writes in a traditional way. He mainly stresses on south-Indian tradition. He adds many Indian words to his books which make them very interesting to read. One of the commonly used words by Narayan is “Swami”. Some of his must-read books are “Swami and Friends”, “Malgudi days”, “The Man-eater of Malgudi”, “The Guide”, “Bachelor of Arts”, “The English Teacher”, “The Vendor of Sweets” and “Waiting for Mahatma”. As an Indian it is must to read Narayan’s books. It is very difficult to keep your eyes away and put them down.
Satyajit Ray
An author whose writing style I like is Satyajit Ray. I like his writing because it is filled with suspense, no one can understand what is going to happen next. His stories feature different types of fictional characters (including ghosts and aliens) and magical powers (such as telepathy and hypnotism.). But Ray writes in such a way that the unusual characters do not seem out of place, instead they make the plot more interesting. Also, his stories are humorous. He has also created many immortal fictional characters such as Professor Shonku (a great scientist and inventor of medicine like ‘Miracule and powerful gadgets like ‘Annilien Pistol, ‘Omniscope’, etc.), Feluda (an intelligent detective equipped with logic and an astonishing memory), Taronikhuro (a story teller), etc. His stories are so great that in my opinion most of them can be made into films. His stories continue to mesmerise me.
Dan Brown
I like the author Dan Brown’s writing style because his novels have a mix of danger, sense of justice and uncover dark secrets from the past. Brown has excellent narration skills, which makes it seem like the story is unfolding right before our eyes. His stories are usually based on the secrets hidden in ancient masterpieces and monuments.
Rick Riordan
Rick Riordan, author of the “Percy Jackson” series, is one author whose writing style I admire. His books are about half-humans, half-gods (demigods) who slay monsters and go on quests. His writing style appeals to me since it is descriptive and Riordan uses easy-to-understand vocabulary. He is also rather amusing, and is always there to add a laugh when the storyline becomes dark. While reading the book, you can imagine yourself in all the scenes, fighting battles with the demigods. You can also understand the character’s feelings easily. You can find the meaning of the story deep inside the tale. There is an ever-growing sense of excitement when you turn to the next page, and this is why I adore Riordan’s style of writing. He really immerses the reader in the plot, and the only problem with the book is that you can’t put it down!
Jeff Kinney
Jeff Kinney is a writer for young adult fiction. He is my favourite author and I like his writing style because of his selection of words. The author has a very unique style of writing. He writes his novels in a comical way for young readers. His novels also increase our curiosity and enhance our vocabulary. He also has a good knowledge of middle school life and has written renowned books such as “The Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series and “Rowley Jefferson” series. “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” is a journal depicting the unexpected situations facing middle school boy named Greg Hefley and his best friend Rowley Jefferson. Greg and Rowley always land up doing some trouble or mischief. Greg chronicles his misadventures, thoughts and opinions in a diary. I am inspired by his books and have learnt that “childhood is the best part of our life and is full of adventures”. His contribution in the Book World will never be forgotten.
From Russia with love
I like the writing style of Leo Tolstoy, a Russian author and novelist, the most. His short stories, in particular, are extremely powerful depictions of human values and morals conveyed in very simple words. For instance, in the story “Where Love is. God is”, Tolstoy tells us that selflessly helping anyone who is in need is like serving God himself because God exists in every living creature. Another story entitled “Three Holy Men” tells us that if a person accepts the God with pure heart, even the impossible things can become possible. Clearly, his stories convey a deep message of humanity and spirituality. The moral of one of his masterpiece stories “How much land does a man need!” remains relevant even today that greed gets us nothing but destruction. Tolstoy, with his unique writing style and meaningful stories, will always have an immortal legacy in World literature.
Veronica Roth
Well, it’s hard to choose, but one author whose writing style inspired me the most is Veronica Roth. I liked the way she has written ‘Four’ the first in the “Divergent” series. She has a fascinating way of storytelling, in which the vocabulary used is simple, but complicated at the same time. I love the way readers can picturise the scene in their minds, as they read the book. When I read the book, I never felt the need for illustrations. The way Tobias hides his identity till the end, changing his name to Stiff and then Four, all this needs a lot of thinking and imagination. One another thing which I liked was how the author portrays Marcus Eaton. I personally felt that Marcus represented people in the society who exploit their position in the society. The whole idea of the fear landscape gives a tinge of fantasy to the story. Another thing I liked was that the entire narration was in the present tense. It literally takes the reader into the fear landscape when we read the book. It makes us feel the emotions and taste’ the food. The cliffhanger ending too was perfect.
Sudha Murty
An author whose writing style I like the most is Sudha Murty. She uses simple words, which make her stories easy to understand. She is a versatile writer. Her writing is not monotomous. Her books touch upon different spheres of life. For example, her book “Magic of the Lost Temple” is filled wth adventures; while Murty teaches us important life lessons in “Grandma’s Bag of Stories”. She has also written a mythological book, “The Daughter from a Wishing Tree”; she showcases the importance of education in “How I Taught My Grandmother to Read.” She writes in Kannada, English and Marathi. Her stories are very close to my heart and it seems as if my own grandmother is narrating them to me. Many of her writings are so close to reality that I feel as if i am part of that story. Her style of writing is engaging and motivates me to think. She and her writings inspire me to be simple and think high.
Amy Wilson
My favourite author would be Amy Wilson. I love the way her writing style makes her stories more magical. She has written many books but “A Girl Called Owl” and “The Snow Globe” are my favourites. Every page of these two books is full of mystery and adventure straight out of the author’s imagination. In the stories both female protagonists try to find their true beings. While one is searching for her father, another is searching for her mother. In all the books, Wilson’s style of writing is amazing.
