Peter Mendelsund in his book, ‘What We See When We Read’ discusses about the strong emotional impressions a person experiences when they read something. Critical points of discussion in the book :

·         The reader is assembling thought impressions together, by stringing together a long series of objects that are associated, and then combined with character experiences.

·         Our ability to feel attachment with a character has little to do with our ability to perceive them in concrete detail.

·         How devices can be used to help the reader to have a more compelling experience of a character.
