"Her novels have a lot of fans because they are written in/with unique, funny and rhythmical sentences."
Is this sentence acceptable?
Thank you in advance!

written in is correct.
Also I think it is she who has fans. |

Thanks a lot, Anuradha Chepur-san!
>Also I think it is she who has fans.
Then, When a novel is very popular (I mean "many people love to read it.") , you don't say "The novel has a lot of fans.", do you?
How about "There are many fans of the novel."?

I think it's possible to be fans of a novel or an author's work without liking the actual author  |

| Yes it is possible for a novel to have fans, but then I wonder if the book would have any fanmail, and and if fans would ask the book for an autograph, etc. |

Thank you very much for your comments, Anuradha Chepur-san, redset-san!
So, "Her novels have a lot of fans because they are written in unique, funny and rhythmical sentences." is understandable, but "Many people love he novels because ..." is better?
