John,
You posted this a while ago, but I saved it because I think
it's a good question and I figured it was likely to generate
some good conversation. I was surprised that it didn't, but
perhaps it got lost in the nominating and voting for the Top
100 Plus 11. >>
I thought more people would have thoughts on this too. I'm
still wondering. I suppose just doing it well and avoiding
predictable plot twists helps. And your point that there are
after all, only a few POV choices one can make is a good
one.
