The only possible downside is the back and forth between the past and now, but I agree that it was not really a problem, especially with the chapter headings indicating a change in time.<br /><br />Actually, this is not much more of a problem than an epic tale that has things going on in several places at once. Lord of the Rings is a perfect example. Often, though everything is happening in the present, there is a lot of back tracking. Frankly, backtracking in the present may be more difficult to follow than backtracking to the past. The past, especially in this story, had unique differences from the present that it really did help to keep things straight.Thomas Clayton Booherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236649952538269327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-89105307774432937192012-02-22T17:56:46.611-06:002012-02-22T17:56:46.611-06:00So interesting that three of you on the tour pulle...So interesting that three of you on the tour pulled out the same quote.

While some found the varying timeline confusing, I found it intriguing, which it sounds like you did too. Nice review. I like how you pulled out select quotes. Makes me wish I'd thought of that. :)Dona Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641009276196378322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-35521537467484200862012-02-21T15:27:11.438-06:002012-02-21T15:27:11.438-06:00Very thorough.
