Finished with Part One

Well, that certainly was an interesting finish to part one.  All kinds of crazy stuff going on there.  Between independence and personal bombshells, I am quite interested in where this book will be heading.

There are books of fiction that have a specific goal - like a mystery.  Someone dies (or some other crime is committed), and you spend the rest of the book working towards finding out whodunnit.  Other novels have a different purpose - like romances.  If you pick up a romance, you read along until two things happen.  First, there will always be sex.  Second, most likely. someone gets married. 

There there are the books that do not really come to any sort of conclusion - they are written to describe a specific moment in time.  There is no real climax, no denouement, no resolution.  These always seem to be the type that become the classics.  Of the books on this list that I have read, I think only two have had real "conclusions" - those would be An American Tragedy and To Kill a Mockingbird.  I am sure this book will be the same, but that will most likely not lessen my enjoyment of it (as it has some of the others).
