There's a lot of conspiracy stuff, I'd lean towards explaining the mystery as science rather than supernatural.

Writing from two or more perspectives or writing independent parts that barely touch but give you a broad view of the fictional world the whole book is set in, without telling only one story. (As you would have probably guessed reading my posts, those stories aren't written in English.)Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115840671460074021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-88259184560686356672011-09-20T03:48:56.527-06:002011-09-20T03:48:56.527-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115840671460074021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-84009123723288158672011-09-19T18:32:30.938-06:002011-09-19T18:32:30.938-06:00The whole two POV/author piece becomes even more i...The whole two POV/author piece becomes even more interesting when find out story came into being in the first place. A rough (but still good read) version was written as an exercise in ad hoc writing at thehighroad.com (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=207390&highlight=corriea). You'll have to sift through all 53+ pages (as of last week) to catch all of it, though. It was a page turner in that rough form. I can't wait to snag a copy of the ebook this weekend.Shamandinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05321984093931809247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-65810699386359028632011-09-19T14:15:55.883-06:002011-09-19T14:15:55.883-06:00I think it worked really well.

While I think that one author MAY have been able to do it, I don't think it would have been near as effective. To me, it did add an extra layer.<br /><br />While the two PoVs were very different, what I enjoyed was how the two played off each other. Again, I don't know that 1 author would have been able to so easily capture the back-and-forth of the two PoVs like Correia and Kupari did.Steve the Bookstore Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237292117795968540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-17071723233761149152011-09-19T13:59:05.247-06:002011-09-19T13:59:05.247-06:00How well does the two-writers two-perspectives exp...How well does the two-writers two-perspectives experiment work? I know you like the result, because that's what your review said. But I'm wondering, does the two-writer part of it add a layer or could it be done like this by just one author? I really like these kinds of literary experiments, as they often produce a book that is somehow different, unique, like the stream of consciousness narrative experiments by Henry James (brother of William James, who introduces/popularized the term stream of consciousness in psychology).<br /><br />I would like to see your opinion on that (specifically the two-authors part).Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115840671460074021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518791629286178662.post-89126810027981802702011-09-19T09:04:11.271-06:002011-09-19T09:04:11.271-06:00Right.
