“I took another crack at volume one and then went straight through volume 3. Which is definitely the way to read this book.
Iâm going to say this book has a âmystery thresholdâ problem. Thatâs a term I just made up, even if someone else made it up first, Iâm taking credit.
By the way, a great way to make money if you find yourself stuck back in time is to work with dictionaries providing definitions for stuff.
Although my ultimate low key investment of I could travel back and forth would be buying pay to park lots in Denver. You could probably buy those lots for nothing 25 years ago, and now youâd be making good money. Not like a fortune where you need to go into space now, just a steady income for absolutely no work on your part.
Anyway: mystery threshold.
Every story with a mystery at the core has a point at which you need some answers. In a whodunnit, at some point you need a couple people ruled out, a few rock solid clues, and a clear sequence of basic events. You need a little something, then we can have a character development sequence, then a little something, and so on.
Gideon Falls kind of keeps the mystery at the same level, which just experience it through the eyes of three different characters. Itâs almost like a whodunnit where we go through the initial investigation with three different people being confused by the same eary info. We go through the same mystery three times and donât really get any answers.
My threshold for mystery has been crossed, and I need some answers from Gideon Falls to keep me interested.
Because at some point it starts to feel like there arenât going to BE any. “
