A good book makes you feel something. It makes you show some sort of emotion whether it be laughing or crying. Not all books are good. Reading a good book may make you feel better after having a bad day. A good book usually either has something that you can identify with or has absolutely nothing to do with your life. For both this reasons these books may appeal to you.
In the book Tough Luck by Jason Starr uses conflict to make the story more appealing. There are different forms of conflict. Conflict in the story makes it more intriguing because you always want to know what's going to happen to the characters. For example when Mickey confronts Angelo about the money he owes to the bookie, you are anxious to know if Angelo pays up or has a few words with Mickey about asking for the money. When there is conflict it forces the reader to choose sides; thus rooting for either the good or the evil. Another conflict is the on going battle between Mickey and his father. His father suffers from Alzheimer's and is constantly arguing with him because he doesn't know what is going on. It kind of makes you feel bad for Mickey though. He can't really help but get mad when you try and talk to your own father and he's screaming and you and trying to kill you because he doesn't remember who you are. The conflict between him and his father is more of a pity act on Mickey's part. It gets the reader to sympathize for him. It works though. One other conflict is Mickey and himself. Mickey is at war with himself throughout the whole book. At one point it's whether or not to place a bet for Angelo, another is whether or not to rob a house, and a third is whether or not to kill Fillippo. This conflict within himself keeps you entertained and on edge. You want to know if he's going to make the right decisions or not.
