25% in and they've already told me how it's to end....I mean at least now I can put it down instead of going through all of that for such an awful ending!!! Screw your philosophy and contemplative picture of life. There were so many other options😠

Their monologues might be long winded but they certainly know how to write a hook. Also, I turn the page for an empty one to declare, "Book Two" in bold letters. How... how were those first hundred pages considered a book? That was an exposition.

A two-page footnote on a character from one paragraph that has its own story, much more entertaining in a short time, and after which the narrator proceeds to tell you, 'But you don't need to remember him. That nameless guy some 20-odd pages ago is who really matters.'

Oh, joy.
