I read some of the TuckerSpawn comments, including where you asked for input. There, you have quite a core of faithful readers, to which I did not feel adequate to comment in that forum. Anyway, my name shows up too much on the internet.

Nevertheless -- I like compound words, makes me feel educated -- I read Chapters 1 to 134 as a single read, and I found you writing style quite different than the norm. The first-person TuckPOV is an interesting approach, though I prefer writing third-person, present tense to give the reading more a current event rather than a story told feel. But, we are talking about your writing, aren't we.

Though, IMHO, as with all first-person POVs it doesn't give a lot of information and can be quite confusing as this is a story read intermittedly, not a story lived continiously. Therein, facts become muddled or even completely forgotten. Thus, first-person writing leaves the reader in the same position as the protagonist, knowing only what he/she knows, or worse. On the other hand, what we learn is just as much, and possibilly more so, a surprise to us as it is to Tuck.

There are, of course, knowledge items that the protagonist is not availed to, but my concern here is that Tuck seems to not care to know or is afraid to know -- nightmares. Is this realistic? Well, maybe in a realm of safety where not knowing something doesn't determine a threat. If not there, not knowing haunts our fear as much as any danger.

As I've given up television, I read a lot -- several serializations per day. This oftens intermingles events from different stories. That is something for a writer to keep in mind, as how can we expect the reader to enjoy the writing if he/she keeps getting lost.

Well, there is my two cents worth. If it isn't of much value, please remember: With personal inflation, two cents it's worth much anymore.
