Frankenstein we all know is a classic. A wonderful book and a icon for those authors today. This book has layed out the very meaning for for good character development. But with writing evolving and taking new forms. Is Frankenstein still one of the est books in the world? I believe that writing has only gone backwards the past two thousand years with some exceptions. I mean in most books you have a very simple plot, character,and world while in the old books they had insanely detailed everything books don't have now.
In books such as lets say "The End of Infinity" Jack escapes prison, goes on a space journey "home" to Earth. He then saves the world and his friends. Then a good ending happens and every one is happy. In this story line does he change? No. Does he Become over powered? Yes.
In "Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie" Despite it being a good book, it uses a simple string of settings, being home then school then home then school then hospital and the loop repeats. This is a very repetitive cycle but
remember this is a very good book.
In "The End of Infinity" again Jack starts off being heroic, then he stays heroic and doesn't change. He is brave, and he stays the same, Jack is a "good guy" and yet his dialogue cancels that out. Catch my drift, in newer books there are less and less characters who develop.
So in conclusion the books of today are very, very simplistic. They show lack of character development and they show lack of interesting detail in the story. But not all books are like that, specifically, the older ones.
