The concept was spectacular, and his style of writing was wonderful and I appreciated it as I read! But as a reader, there were some plot choices I either completely didn't agree with or was disappointed in. For example, the aspect of time warps and things was not something I anticipated from the first part of the book, and I was quite disappointed that it turned into that. Once I got over the initial disappointment however, I found the characters and photos to be absolutely lovely and I fell in love with each (I'm a sucker for Mr. invisible Millard and his ettiquette). I was a bit disappointed with the ending, though I suppose he didn't have many options. The way the book was heading he had very few options for how to end the book, so I suppose benefit of the doubt, he chose the lesser of the evils. I will also say that thanks to this book I will be spending much of my summer at tag sales and flea markets hunting for my own inspiration in abandoned (and peculiar) photos.
