More tone...

Ok, so now looking back at that post, I realize that at that point in my reading, I didn't comprehend that the book was non fiction. Therefore, I found the tone to be particularly distinctive. Yet, regardless, the fact that Larson chose to write this account in a novelistic manner, but yet keep the reserved tone must be significant. I still hold that it does contribute to creating a mood of suspense and mystery, but at the same time balances his attempt at a novel style by making the book a bit more "non fictionish". I find the book to run smoother now that the fair has begun. There seems to be shorter chapters, focusing on more ancedotal material as opposed to the lenghty planning of the fair. Comment back guys!!
