This is true. Diversity brings about growth and development. As they say, the more the merrier. Even so, they shouldn't be too many to the extent of detracting the readers.Cardinalsparrow wrote: ↑10 Feb 2019, 03:46 I like the diversity, it exposes the reader to other cultures which is a great ingredient for improving tolerance among people.

- Latest Review: Third Chances by Dan Petrosini
I thin the different native dialects enhanced the novel for me, and the fact that their was such a large variety shows how WW2 reached all faces of the earth, and was not only subject to western cultureEver_Reading wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 01:53 From Australia to Egypt and back, The Warramunga's War introduces a wide range of characters. More than the Warramunga, one also meets French, English, Arab, Australian, Czech, and German characters. At times, Kater even allows these characters to say phrases in their native tongues.
Did you find this distracting as you were reading, or did it enhance the book for you? Also, what are your thoughts on how diversity is portrayed in the book, in general?

I think the second part of that is the most important. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much "diversity" a book has if it's not done well. Stereotypes and tired cliches when writing characters from different backgrounds don't make a book any better. I really like it when an author is able to speak from their own experiences with people different from themselves to enhance the story they're telling.sush_destiny wrote: ↑07 Mar 2019, 21:01 diversity of characters makes the book more realistic. its refreshing to see that the author does not stick to stereotypes.

Diversity isn’t distracting, it’s what gives a story color and makes it interesting. If every character was written like Bella Swan from Twilight, no book would ever be worth reading on account of every book being a reiteration of the same characters.
