Summarise an author
Game time again! Think of an author, then of a short paragraph which sums up his or her entire output (or at least 90% anyway)...
Here goes with three examples: J K Rowling: Boy wizard saves the world. Michael Crichton: Hi-tech venture goes toes-up. Dan Brown: There's a conspiracy afoot. Any more? Or perhaps better ones for these three? |
