When I read it, I was totally on board with the characters' viewpoints all through the story, even as they changed, because they were absolutely convincing.<br />I'm glad that this wasn't that bad story you remembered. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-86245698946488541542014-03-14T14:47:16.509-07:002014-03-14T14:47:16.509-07:00Turns out I have never read Power of Three before,...Turns out I have never read Power of Three before, and I love it! DWJ is so good at understanding human psychology, all the influences that come together to make us think and act the way we do. And she manages to explain how everyone is thinking and feeling without ever sounding like she telling us that they're thinking and feeling. If that makes any sense.Kim Aippersbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556947405633680410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-26263091396025328462014-03-08T00:50:14.882-08:002014-03-08T00:50:14.882-08:00That's good news -- and too bad that you thoug...That's good news -- and too bad that you thought you didn't like it.

But, I have to say that I've never seen that cover in person either but it felt familiar to me as well.
