A Gimmick or an Innovation? – Terry Odell

A Gimmick or an Innovation?

Gimmick or innovationA while back, for a Kill Zone Blog post, I talked about whether or not getting creative with fundamentals like punctuation was a good idea.

Recently, my daughter handed me a book she thought I might like because it was a mystery. It was huge–over 700 pages. Traditionally published, but its first edition came out in Canada. I don’t know if that makes a difference.

I’m not at the halfway point yet. It’s a bedtime read, and I’m averaging about 30 pages at a time. It’s got some excellent prose, some aggravating character naming–lots of similar names, but there’s something about it that’s slowing the read way down.

I’m not going to say anything more about it. I took a picture of a random page. What do you think? Should this be the formatting of the future? (Click the image to enlarge)
