Though, the revelation was important to the author, he fails to explain that in detail. And that's the reason why some of us think that the title is misleading.missiontrainer2000 wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 01:49 I was a little disappointed myself that Margaret didn't figure more prominently. The only explanation I can think of was that, though there wasn't much to tell storywise, the revelation she triggered was more important to him than all the other anecdotes in the book.

Makes sense. I was just trying to guess at a possible motive. No one does something for no reason at all. And I liked the book as a whole, though a lot of people don't seem to.Raksha Rakhecha wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 01:54Though, the revelation was important to the author, he fails to explain that in detail.

Yeah. As a whole, the book is very good. And I think content matters more than title.missiontrainer2000 wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 01:49

I do agree, that some titles are purposefully misleading and done so to gain interest or sales.
Life is a dream, reality is what you make of it.
