Style Mapping

     Tucker Max, Ben Mezrich, and William R. Forstchen all have three unique writing styles. In Tucker Max's book, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, is a very harsh and vulgar writing technique. This writing is not intended to impress or confuse. It is very straight forward, using slang and simple language. Ben Mezrich on the other hand comes across as more complex in his writing. Using a combination of advanced and simple writing, he makes his books an enjoyable read. While those two have a more upbeat and enthusiastic writing style, William R. Forstchen uses more of a blunt and tense mood. In his book, One Second After, a nuclear war has errupted. A family now has to defend itself and use all their effort just to survive. Forstchen is more or less a deep, intellecual writer, setting the mood throught the whole book. These authors together have a wide variety of writing styles but one thing is for sure, you will never be bored reading one of their books.
