Task # 11

I checked out The book report network and I personally would only use it for the Author Yellow Pages because I thought that it was easy to use however, I feel like it would be just as easy to google the author. I really thought thought that the Graphic Novel Reporter pages was the site that was put together the best. I think that with all the animation graphics on the site that it was the most visually appealing, I'm just not that into graphic novels.

I chose to look up Ken Follett on Biaography Resource Center because one of his books "Pillars of the Earth" is one of my favorite books. Apparently he is one of the youngest millionaire authors which I think is an interesting fact. I also think that it's interesting that he used to be a reporter and when he first started writing, he wrote under pseudonyms and based his his stories loosely on the cases he covered as a reporter. It was kind of funny because in this article Bookreporter.com was quoted. Best of both worlds I guess.
