Robert Cormier Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: January 17, 1925 - November 2, 2000
Birthday: January 17
Death: November 2
I read a lot of detective stories because they always deliver. They give you a beginning, a middle, and an end - a resolution. The modern novels I read don't always deliver because I'm looking essentially for a story. As in Shakespeare, "The play's the thing." In particular I read detective stories for pacing, plot and suspense.
