Book response #2

     The author of the book Don't Turn Around, is Michelle Gagnon. Gagnon is a fairly new novelist and has a reputation for crime fiction books. She has published multiple thrillers and murder mystery's ranging from college campus murder to abductions by Mexican drug cartels. Each of her stories, except for Don't Turn Around can be based off of terrifying true stories, and many of them are based off of corrupt government involvement. Gagnon caters her books towards young adults and more specifically- mystery enthusiasts, and her writing can most likely be compared to that of David Belbin and his trilogy; Point Crime.

        In Don't Turn Around, Michelle Gagnon uses 'text talk' and instant message font to keep the reader interested. Sometimes, it is hard to focus on the text when it is all one uniform type, filling page, after page. The im'ing and texts break up the story and give it a casual, more relatable feel, which I really like.  

      Don't Turn Around, is full of suspense and has a huge plot line, so it makes sense that it was split up into multiple books. There are 2 other books relating to 'Project PERSEF0NE', making for a trilogy. The book is still really interesting and shocking, and I think it takes a great writer to keep a reader on their toes up until the very end of the book. I look forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy and hope they are as enjoyable as this one was.
