Read the following dialogue and answer the question.

Free PSD | High angle turned over open book mock-up

Naya: So I don’t know what you thought about the book, but I had a lot of mixed feelings about it.

William: Oh, really? Like what?

Naya: Well, I thought the main character’s situation was interesting, but his attitude toward women bothered me.

William: I can see that. It definitely seemed like he had some problems with women.

Naya: I would have liked to understand how that started. I mean, the book didn’t go into too much detail about why he felt that way.

William: I agree with that. I think the author could have handled that part better. I did enjoy the descriptions, though.

Naya: Oh yes, the writing was beautiful! That just made me more disappointed in the character.

William: Well, this is just my opinion, but maybe the character would have been easier to understand if the writing had been simpler. It seemed like the author spent a lot of time on the descriptions when he could have spent more time on the character’s thoughts.

Naya: I’m not sure if I agree with that. I just think that the writing could have been more thoughtful while still being beautiful if that makes sense.

William: That does make sense. I think maybe the problem for me is just that not much actually happened, but I still enjoyed parts of the book, though.

Naya: You’re right about that. There wasn’t much of a story. So did I.
