It is as if the use of the present tense added taste to the book.shraddharm wrote: ↑06 Apr 2018, 05:48 It was nice to read the book in present tense. Their could have been chances of grammatical errors but the author did well. I have read books in this tense and this book is just as good as them.

Present tense makes this book unique.DesireeRose wrote: ↑03 Apr 2018, 15:12 I prefer past tense, but I did not feel that the present tense hindered the book much.

Tense is just but an ingredient that an author use in cooking the story.desantismt_17 wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 16:47 I've talked to many people who say they find present tense jarring and can't read it. For me, tense is rarely an issue. Once my brain settles into the tense of the story, I flow through, and this was no exception.

Oh, I like that. Tense doesn't bother me. Whatever the author chooses to cook with is fine with me.zilizopita1998 wrote: ↑06 Apr 2018, 09:00Tense is just but an ingredient that an author use in cooking the story.desantismt_17 wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 16:47 I've talked to many people who say they find present tense jarring and can't read it.
