Week 9: Assignment 1

I just finished reading the Chicago Tribune and New York Times articles.  I watched all of the book trailers in the NYT article.  I like book trailers best when I can tell they are talking about a book.  Some of them were so far off track, that I didn't realize they were for a book.  I really enjoyed Kelly Corrigan's book trailer for Middle Place

Recently I came across a book trailer for Carl Hiaasen's Bad Monkey. It was very simple, had some sound effects, some graphics and a cover of the book - very clean, fun and I knew what the book trailer was for.  If by the end of the trailer you can't remember why you are watching the trailer or what it is for, you've just waisted my time.

Other book trailers I watched were:
Hoot by Carl Hiaasen
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Room by Emma Donoghue
Wonder by R.J. Palacio
Chomp by Carl Hiaasen
The Strange Case of the Origami Yoda by Tom Angelberger
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
