Evaluating Effectiveness

In my opinion, the book is very believable because the novel evokes imagery constantly throughout the story. There are very little moments where I was not imagining the scene in which the words were describing. The author is very detailed with his words and very meticulous in his choice of words to make sure that the proper image is projected into the reader's mind. Also, the formality in the dialogue of the main characters really showed that they were raised in a wealthy, well-mannered household which made it more believable. Also, themes like the questioning about God's existence and equality between men and women relate directly to society's current state. Also, the fact that the author used real places like France and Geneva to describe the setting helps the fantasy with its connection to reality. The book is very engaging as well because it lets the reader imagine along with the characters. For example, we see a glimpse of Elizabeth's dream of marrying Konrad in the future and this readers can relate to when they too dream of marrying the one they love.
