It seemed almost like watching a movie on a DVD and having the ability to watch it with or without the deleted scenes.īut as I progressed, I felt that the flipping of pages had a different effect on me. And besides, they are subsets of each other (with slight inconsistencies, for example chapter 55 is left out of one version).
While it certainly can be, the ‘instructions’ at the beginning specifies only 2 official ways of reading it. I had it in my head that the book could be read in an infinite variety of ways. For example, if you see “> 24”, then proceed to paragraph/sentence # 24 (which is conveniently labelled and bolded).ġ I expected this book to be more inventive than it turned out to be, based mostly on how much hoopla there was around its experimental form. The second should be read by beginning with 1 and then following the sequence indicated at the end of each sentence or paragraph.
Consequently, the reader may ignore what follows with a clean conscience. Start from 1 and go to 12, at the close of which there are three garish little stars which stand for the words The End. The first can be read in a normal fashion.
