List of characters
Hey all, just thought it might be nifty to have a list of characters and a brief blurb of what it is they're doing in the novel. Luckily, wikipedia did my work for me. I don't claim any credit for this, but I'll certainly take it advantage of it. Hope it's mildly useful for everyone.

I used this list a lot while I was reading. In the beginning I had trouble remembering who everybody was and what they did.
ReplyDeleteThis was a total life saver. I read about the first 100 pages without looking a list of characters and it was much more difficult to understand what was happening because of the different side stories.
