handwriting

I think this book would not be as intriguing and exciting to read if it was not designed and layed out in the way that it is. A normal chapter book relaying the same story would probably be considered boring. The best part about this book for me was deciphering the post cards and reading into the characters through them. I think this book shows how much can be determined through the handwriting of a person and the way a person writes. I think that people who write in all capital letters are usually very confident and can even be seen as sometimes cocky. In all of Griffin's postcards, he writes in capital letters and is very direct and down to the point. This shows he is an accomplished and confident person. Whereas Sabine is more mysterious, indirect and I see her as shy and awkward in a sense. All of this information is determined through the characters handwriting their styles of writing. If this story was written in a different style of writing, none of these factors would have been able to be determined.
