As you know, I am now reading the book Beastly, and I wanted to talk a little about the official website of the author (no official website for the book). The site is called called Alex Flinn, young adult author. Here is a link to the website: www.alexfinn.com . When you enter the main site, you can see the covers of all the books she has written and critcis. At the top of the website you can see the name of the website and a picture of Alex Flinn. The main menu is interactive because when you click on the cover of a book, it brings you to a page explainig the book and writing about it in depth. On the side, there are subtopics that let you know more about the author (biography). Some of the topics found on the side are: my books, biography, school visits/speaking, book talks, favourite books, short stories, and many more. She doesn't have a search icon on her website but it is easy to find everything. There are titles, subtitles, and captions to make it easy to find what you are exactly looking for. Also, the nice thing that I really like with this website, is that whenever you are on one of the titles on the side of the website, you can see which you are on because it is bolded. She also lists how to contact her by email or by post. Her email is alixwrites@aol.com . The company she works for is Harper Collins and it is a very known publisher. They publish all kinds of novels starting from books of 5 year olds all the way to the adult age. Also, the company that produced the site is called 2-Tier Software Inc. They build websites of all kind for any person who wants to start there own official site, bussiness or just for the pleasure. The connection time took 2 seconds. This is very quick and efficient and it is 12K. In my opinion, I think that the layout of this site is perfect. Although the site is plain and doesn't have a great design, the way things are organized and put in order. You know where everything is and you know where to look for points. I think that this site needs a little bit more information on the books she writes. I think that everything is well explained and there is enough information except for the point a said. In conclusion, I think that this website should be visited because its is very well-written and if you read one of the books, and you want to know more about your book, this is the website to visit for Alex Finns' books. Also, when you need to know more about the author or want to know something for an assignement this is the most suited site (it is the author herself writing!). In conclusion, if you ever read a book by Alex Flinn, and need some infromation, you know where to go!
