Post #2 ; identifying and sorting

The five main elements of the novel I am currently reading, are;
Suspense, mood , fast pacing, mystery, and conflict.

In order;
Suspense
mystery
fast-pacing
mood
conflict

In my opinion all of these are elements play a big role in this story. suspense and mystery are the main two elements that are used most to engage the reader. If these two elements weren't included, there wouldn't be much of a story at all. All throughout the story this boy (the main character) named Joe, is trying to figure out who Candy (one of the characters the story is focused on) really is. Mystery is added by the reader, and Joe, not really knowing who Candy is. Then when you find out, the story turns into a very suspenseful fast pacing explosion of not knowing whether or not Candy and Joe will make it out of their "situation." I am close to being finished the book, and so far it has been an intriguing read. I recommend this book to any reader that likes a suspenseful romance.
