I think the discussion and explanation of whether the All-Book is a book or not is an engaging aside, but make it worth the reader's while. Go a little deeper here and beyond the bare-bones analysis of what are books...If you don' think it is worth it, then I would drop it all and get straight to things. It is called the All-Book so i assume it is a book; otherwise, would it not be called something different especially in a world where there are tall these fancy names, acronyms, etc... for almost everything else.
In terms of altering the voice of th e narrative, it allows the reader to (obviously) look at things from a new perspective and that has helped me come to some realizations as a reader. this voice has helped explain some of the elements that I have been missing along the way and by having an actual character make these connections, it comes across more real.
As for the guests, I think more than one paragraph intimating their existence and that they need to be dealt with is necessary to really whet the appetite of the reader
This may or may not be my last post since sr. options is quickly closing down--as is any free time that I had enjoyed in the past weeks--but I wanted you to consider what role violent action plays in your story?
In a general sense, violence---or the spectre of it-- is always a useful device to capture interest...and the demographic that will inevitably engage with your novel will enjoy these violent episodes...That being sadi, violence should alwas ride shotgun to narrative, plot, storytelling, character, etc... the stronger these other elements of your tale, the more palatable and the more effective violence and its description becomes. For example, IMHO, the new "Casino Royale" plays so well because there is minimal "action" and violence since the rest of the elements of the movie were handled quite well. In addition, it is the anticipation of potential violence--and its consequences that really makes the reader twist and turn with you. Gratuitous violence, of course, is never really effective. IT is finding the balance between all elements of your work and paying equal attention to all that will move you a step closer to becoming the writer you seek to be.
So, I just write this to remind you that your enthusiasm fro these scenes is apparent from your description, but never lose sight of your novel. The characters matter, the story matters; and when these matter, what they do, what happens to them becomes a concern for the reader. And that is a good thing
I must run
great work
