Fellow Friends,

It is has been wonderful to discuss in depth our opinions regarding each story. I do think by reading with some of the questions listed, our knowledge of his world expands. Thank-you to those who have come to enjoy the group.

This is an open group. Everyone is welcome to participate as long as they have read the story.

List of Questions:

1. How did you experience the story? Engaging?

2.Were the main characters actions justified? How about the dynamics between characters?

3. Growth or Maturity at end of tale?

4. Was the plot engaging? Fast, slow or twisty

5. Timeline sequential or lots of flashbacks? Structure? Single or Multiple Viewpoints

6. Symbolism, themes, or main ideas within story?

7. Sections that summarize the story, profound passages, or funny dialogue?

8. Satisfying?

9. If you could ask Sai King one question about this story, what would it be?

10. Has the story changed you or spoken to you personally in some way?

11. How does the setting figure into the story and would you recommend the story?

These questions were gleaned from Litlovers as well as other reading and discussion groups. If you would like add questions to the list, please pm me and I will add it to the list.

Sneakers? I don't think I have read this one yet - I think I was just getting ready to read "The House on Maple Street"

I liked it! I was afraid SK would go into too much detail about Tell's work and I would be lost, but it was just enough IMO.
Agreed, I liked it too. Later on in it I was a little confused with the supernatural bits. When Tell became him and he was
Tell. Was he actually Tell? Did he actually see himself die? I was a little confused in the end.

I read it as, you first have to see something familiar to you before you can really see the unknown and unfamiliar.
