Who's speaking in third? No, I Don't Know is...

Other than the fact that Abbot and Costello are some of the funniest guys ever, this video adequately describes my confusion for who exactly this book is supposed to be following (yes who's on first). In the beginning it seems to be following the director. Then it jumps to Lenina and then to Bernard. Then it seems like it's the savage. It continues to bounce its focus from character to character and honestly I don't like it very much. Because the book never focuses on one character for the entire extent of the book I never felt like I was following a story line. It was more like watching extended youtube clips of a small snippet of their full story. Not to mention I feel like I popped right into the middle of it with no background. I wish the story would have followed one character or at least given me all the necessary background information to understand what's going on. Reading this book was sort of like trying to follow the movie "Inception". They threw you right in the middle of the plot so you were always trying to keep up with the story. That's just my personal opinion.
