Hey All,
There seems to be a lingering question on this, so I thought I'd weigh in. Even if "resembles" were better than "reminiscent of" (a distinction I fail to make), answer choice E still has problems here. You can't "more resemble" something. In fact, the correct comparative idiom for the verb "to resemble" is "more closely resemble". I don't know why that is, except that it's an idiom.
Also, "reminiscent of" is very often used in literary comparisons. Who are these 800score people, and why are they ripping off questions and then explaining them incorrectly? I call for a boycott! : )

'Reminiscent of' is an adj which means 'reminding of' or 'bringing to mind something else' It should follow a noun as in the sentence: "Your experience reminds me of one [experience] I had a year ago".
Therefore, in answering this question we can rule out all answers (A,B,D) which refer to Leon Forrest, not his work. E is out because 'resembles', although similar to 'reminds' does't mean the same thing.
So, I think that the correct answer is C, because it refers to Leon Forrest's work and uses 'reminiscent of' correctly.
