The writer of Becoming Charlemagne, Jeff Sypeck, did a wonderful job in writing a book that was interesting to read, well explained (easy to understand) and generally structured well. Jeff Sypeck writing style was definitely interesting. Three things that made Sypeck’s writing style interesting to read was flow, word choice, and illustration.
Jeff Sypeck made this book interesting to read by ensuring that the book had a continuous flow. The flow of the book can be explained by how well the book transitions through key points and chapters. The flow is important to having an interesting writing style because poor transitions or gaps in explanation can confuse the reader can cause him to have to re-read, or lose interest in the book. It is similar to watching your favorite show and then having to stop for a commercial. This is something understood by most, and sometimes you may never even return to the programming you were previously viewing. That is why the flow of a book in very important in keeping the reader interested. Sypeck demonstrated this flow in his book. The parts that stuck out most in his book were transition between key points and transitions between chapters. Jeff Sypeck was excellent at picking the next chapter up where the last chapter would stop and also in the way he chronicled events between past and present using clear words so that the reader would knew exactly to whom and/or what he was referring. A good example of the flow of the book is found at the end of page 158 through page 159. Over three chapters and two direct quotes Sypeck covers three separate issues. Sypeck
