		<description><![CDATA[Taylor does a great job of building up by providing the basis. From the title through the description of setting (or environment that is truly necessary to the story), the reader is given all the details of time, place, characters, and events leading up the phone call (the Summons) that will bring him in alignment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aside from the phone call (the &#8220;Summons&#8221;) in the beginning of the book, there is little&#8211;maybe no&#8211;dialogue in this narrative. What Taylor is doing&#8211;and I&#8217;m halfway through&#8211;is describing the characters as seen by the narrator in the first person point of view. His method of doing this is by filling the reader in on details [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two chapters into this now and I would say that Taylor paints with a thin brush. By this I mean that his characters, which I&#8217;m taking to be the most important focus of the novel, are being revealed so slowly, so meticulously painted in detail, and all via interaction over events that are relatively minor&#8211;or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post was making the rounds on Facebook today: Catchy, isn&#8217;t it? Like all words  put together in a rush and thrown out to a hungry public, and they gobbled it right up. There are two things completely illogical with the above. First, those who believe that they know more about somebody&#8217;s profit margins and [...]]]></description>

Harder to make the transition in both understanding and common usage is connotation. Words that have either a colloquial or common meaning that is harmless may change to [...]]]></description>

While I did not lose the trail of the stories, I obviously was not so enamored of them that I let some other things go by undone. It was a fantastic concept of a futuristic world&#8211;yet set in a completely [...]]]></description>
