Anybody else notice anything else with Tibbit (ha ha, I spelled his
name backwards).
i think a lot of people are suspect. tibbit is a good suspect b/c
little is said about him, and he's a "forgotten" employee who "doesnt
mind" working in the lowest office possible. why would that be?
why do you think mary is allowed to be followed by our 3rd person
narrator? this makes her both suspect and protagonist, and i'm not
sure i like that position for this book. i'm already assuming that she
writes up a great case story for spratt and the ncd becomes reputible
(hence the other books in the series...). because of this, i dont
think she should have been pulled in as a voice until the 2nd book.
Where was I?
I think he is doing what he is doing throughout the whole book and
loosely following the rules but not breaking them. It's interesting,
hopefully the other books in the series work a little bit better.
Oh, and they still have to work in the whole bean stalk.

So is Mary Mary quite contrary? And will Jack go up the beanstaulk?
These question remain to be answered...
did anyone else do this? has anyone seen the disney program where they
went through "london bridges," and "mary mary"?

And if they are unable to perceive what is divine in Nature which is all around them, how will they be able to see their own divinity, which is sometimes hidden."

This is a book that devotes too much space to cutsey nursery rhymes at
the expense of actual story; by Fford forcing himself into a corner
with the characters he's selected he's not augmenting the story but in
fact trying to make a puzzle out of all circular pieces. It simply
doesn't work and is too much of a distraction from the narrative.
It isn't the worst book I've read and the concept is interesting
but... it missed for me.
ironically, it was a quick read, but it just didnt go very fast. i can
see how Fford is an appealing writer, and i wont force my opinion
about this book onto his other works, but i find serial writing to be
a difficult thing to accomplish successfully. this is going to be the
final season of scrubs (if you didnt already know that - you can cry
w/ the rest of us). i think this is a good thing. scrubs is a great
show, and has a lot of great characters that are pliable enough to
keep plot twists interesting. unfortunately, how many times can elliot
and JD get together? it's the whole rachel/ross syndrome of
repetition. you can only goad the audience so many times before we
start screaming "move on already!!!" to the screen. plus, they are
getting out of the endearing 20-something quasi-ignorant stage of
life. we're moving toward the "gray's anatomy" side, and frankly, i'm
just not into that show. :o) so to keep it fresh and unique as the
show always has been, the writers are ending it this year. good for
them!!
i drifted from my point about serial novels... there aren't many out
there that can stay fresh and unique through the whole series. that's
it. that's my point. i'm done now.
