I am reading POB really quickly and really enjoying it. I have just started A While Thread p. 273. I had not intended to read ahead so much and so fast, but the book has drawn me in. I do love the way G Brooks writes these separate short stories about the periods of the artifacts found in the book. There is no reason to have to remember who these characters are, so put aside your score card. Well, you do need to remember Hanna and the people associated with her life, which seems to somewhat parallel the stories of the people of the book.
