I really enjoyed this week's stories. I thought it was interesting to read four separate stories all set in the same world, and getting to hear different perspectives of that world.
My favorite story was The Juniper Tree. I like that it switched point-of-view during the story, so you could see how each character felt about the events in the story. It was kind of creepy for me that Eva could bring Carey back to life like that. I know why she did it, but it was weird. Was I the only one who thought Carey was going to come back wrong somehow? Like, it would still look like him, but his brain would be messed up or his personality would be different. I think I was expecting him to be zombie-like, for some reason.

I think that writting different stories for the same world is a very interesting form of writing. I think if I was a scifi writer I would do the same. It is much more detailed in that all of them have to work together. I think it makes it more interesting to the reader and the writer.
ReplyDeleteI agree John. It seems that when an author writes multiple stories based on the same characters or setting they are able to develop their stories better than if it was a stand alone story. Ex. Tolkien, Card, Rowling...
