Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones

"Second read through: <br/>Not as hype as the first time, but still enjoyable. <br/><br/>First Review: <br/>4* on Sanderson scale. Though I did enjoy it more than the first, I'm not increasing it by 4.1 or anything, which may be confusing to you but that's how it is.<br/><br/>As I said, I enjoyed this one more than the first one. Partly because the witty comments about how writers write were ever so clever. But also because more seemed to happen, though it all still took place over only a couple of days. There was more action and it seemed as if there was more at stake. Also more mystery and because of an increased knowledge of the world (after appropriately reading the first novel first), I could immerse myself more completely in the world. <br/><br/>More awesome life lessons in this book - of particular note is the lesson on not judging people. Great lesson kids and adults alike need to learn.<br/><br/>Once again I find links to the cosmere world. Though I'm starting to wonder if it's just Alcatraz being Alcatraz and purposely doing that so I freak out when I notice them. However, I still choose to believe it's all actually related to the cosmere. <br/><br/>Finally, there are so many quotable parts in this book. Not so much one liners, but more paragraphs that are laid out so well and are so true that I can't help but laugh. Particularly the one with all the 0's. And when he speaks about writers not liking people. That's something I can relate to very well. <br/><br/>Which I suppose adds another thing to this book - it is easy to relate to. I can picture myself in the characters positions, and only hope I could make the wrong decisions just like Alcatraz."
