In a plot like this in which Winter has a special "talent," it has to be accepted from the beginning that the book isn't realistic. When the disbelief messes up a conclusion, I agree, definitely not fair!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-17267297443880114362020-10-19T06:56:03.263-05:002020-10-19T06:56:03.263-05:00:) The use of prologues is overdone, unnecessary,...:) The use of prologues is overdone, unnecessary, and off-putting.

When I do get pushed beyond that point, though, I find myself resenting the time I wasted on a book instead of just dropping it and moving on. Sometimes the disbelief kicks in near the end...and that's not fair, IMO.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-722333964352326652020-10-18T14:00:44.270-05:002020-10-18T14:00:44.270-05:00Boo to unnecessary prologues!

We hapless employees were getting ripped to shreds until I dug up the postage-paid customer comment cards that went straight to corporate, handed each salesfloor employee a big wad, and told 'em to pass those out every time someone tried to rip 'em a new one. It worked. The company has yet to do that again, but evidently I wasn't the only one who did that because the new comment cards had our district office's address on them. Personally I think corporate offices should get up close and personal with the aftermath of their decisions!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.com
