Keith's Thoughts

Open City was an unexciting book to read. After going through the first couple of chapters, I figured the style in which he wrote would not become something that would be regularly seen throughout the book. I originally thought that he would have very descriptive passages here and there. However, after pushing through the book, I noticed his style of writing consists of many words and statements that are simply superfluous, which ultimately creates an incoherent atmosphere for the reader, and makes the underlying themes difficult to find. Despite the overly profound writing style, Cole’s character development and hidden themes were shaped well enough for the reader to comprehend.
