Partly was how bloody long it was, tho it was short chapters. And I liked how it linked from part to part & for the most part was zipping along rather well; but that letter did me in; are we talking fact or fiction? Is this letter real or not? Where are the footnotes? Googling this links it only to this book & a few sites that seem to rely on its inclusion in this book to support the letter being real. And that bugged me so much I stopped reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-84104299807495846522006-10-27T00:41:00.000-04:002006-10-27T00:41:00.000-04:00This was a fun one!
