Continuing past the first interlude, I found myself back in the section of the story taking place in the 50’s, this time finally being introduced to our main characters as kids. It was interesting to see the differences between them as kids and adults, but also the similarities. Ben goes from a fat kid, to a thin handsome man, but still had his internal issues. I will be interested to see what exactly gets them to how they are as adults as I continue.
I think the structure of this novel helps me stay interested, as it bounces between our characters as adults and as kids, and makes you want to see more of each. It also does a great job of helping you get a more full idea of the characters than I have in most other books. You see them as adults and childs, and it really shows who they are.
