I am a bit ashamed of myself. I forgot to set boundaries on myself while reading this and have kind of inadvertently... read the entire book. I'M SORRY! I will continue to blog as if I was still on the first quarter, though.
So, as for the author's style, I have realized that it is similar to the kind he uses in Fahrenheit 451. It seems very deep and thoughtful as well as descriptive. He seems to get into the characters' minds and makes them have thoughts that you wouldn't expect out of them. Thoughts and secrets. This is especially there in the character Charles Halloway in chapter 3. I think he proves to be my favorite character, next to the black hat wearing Jim, evil extraordinaire Mr. Dark, the menagerie of freaks... but I'm getting ahead of myself.
I also think the whole white hat/ black hat thing is fantastic. I didn't really get it at first, but then Faith explained it to me (Why am I even referring to you in the third person? You're the only other person on this blog!) and I totally get it. While I'm reading other books now (and, yes, I finished this one while reading other books) I thought about whether they wear a black hat or white and the size. I am happy to say I wear my own black hat proudly!
Overall, I like this book and can't wait for you to finish so I can talk about the better parts.
Haha! We both know you wear the biggest black hat of all. I'd say I wear a black hat too. I'm sorry I haven't gotten to read as much, I promise I'll try to catch up as well as I can. In the meantime, I suggest reading Divergent (a book I think you'll like and I've read so we can talk about it).
