Here's a breakdown:
Detailed Books:
* Focus on rich descriptions: They provide vivid imagery, sensory details, and thorough explanations of characters, settings, and events.
* Aim for immersion: They aim to immerse the reader in the world and story, making them feel like they are right there.
* May be longer: The detailed descriptions can make the book longer and more complex.
* Examples: Literary fiction, historical fiction, biographies, memoirs.
Non-Detailed Books:
* Focus on plot and action: They prioritize the story's progression and focus on the key events and plot points.
* May be more concise: They use less descriptive language and fewer details.
* Examples: Thrillers, mysteries, science fiction, young adult fiction.
It's important to note:
* There is a spectrum of detail in books, not just two distinct categories.
* The level of detail depends on the genre, author's style, and purpose of the book.
* A "detailed" book in one genre might be considered "non-detailed" in another.
Ultimately, the level of detail that works best is a matter of personal preference and the specific needs of the story.
