Style Mappers, Top 5

-"In this passage from Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian," he uses common familiarity and suggestive language mixed with a harmonious and sweet sound. In the passage from Neil Gaiman's "Stardust," Gaiman uses formal elegance and straight-forward language." http://twilightlover2.blogspot.com/2011/10/style-mapping.html

-In Neil Gaiman's Stardust, Gaiman writes poetically with colloquial language, using words that are neither dissonant nor melodious, in order to describe the setting." http://academiczengerine.blogspot.com/2011/10/style-mapping.html 

 - Similarly, in Sarah Dessen’s Dreamland, the story is told with a rather low energy, and the inferred emotions are depression, grief, and loneliness http://kaylaepicblogger.blogspot.com/2011/10/style-mapping.html

The twilight lover post was my favorite because she/he used the word harmonious which is one of the greatest words ever. The other sentences were all good, it's just that HARMONIOUS is an instant win for best sentence.
