I agree both are important, but I'm much more forgiving of a slow plot with fully fleshed out characters than I am of a book that has good plotting but shallow, undeveloped characters. I need to believe the people are real.

Hopping on over! Very cool blog header btw. I totally agree with you that the plot and characters are equally important to the story.

I hope you drop by!

Joining you from over at the Book Blogger Hop, it's nice to have met you, I've enjoyed my visit. With regard to your question, I have to say characters are probably slightly more important to me though plot is a very close second.

hopped through from the book blog hop, looks like you read similar stuff to me, and your reviews are great. I'm now a follower and look forward to reading more from you :D

Hi there! I'm your newest follower from the blog hop :)

I think both plot and characters need to be great for me to love a book...otherwise I find it dull haha

I'm totally with plot. :) The most solid answer to this question but it's still on someone's preference. Anyway, read my answer in Clandestine Sanctuary.

I'm an new follower. Have a great weekend.

I need good characters or I probably won't like the book. But everybody's different.

Happy Hopping!

This was indeed, a great question this week. I will have to say, after thinking it over, I realized that plot is more important to me than characters. Not that characters are unimportant, just that, if nothing happens in the story, then I won't feel like reading it!

hey there! im another visitor from the hop, i love the colors of your blog :) esp. the header colors :)
nice answer, i do value characters a tad more than plot though :)
hope you can stop by my blog sometime, have a great weekend!

Love your blog name, and the design is still one of my many favorites.
