I hope you'll keep with this because I understand where your confusion is coming from, but there is a point where it all clicks (at least it did for me). And it's a glorious click. Let me know how it goes.Kimberly J.

So I didn't really know what to expect going into this book.<br /><br />Code Name Verity was really tough to get into, I would read a few pages, stop, read another few pages, get distracted by another book then try to get back into it. Some of the reasons I found it so tough was because I've just been devouring contemporary romances lately, so jumping straight into this which opened by focusing heavily on aircraft; the different types and the training required was hugely difficult. Also I was confused as soon as I started, as I had no idea who the narrator was, what was going on (the story would flit back and forth between time spans, what she did during the war effort and what was happening to her when she was captured). And we didn't even know her name until much later on!Canadahttp://2beamericans.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
