That's funny, I am the opposite. By the end of the book I don't always remember the specific details and then I no longer care to look at pictures. I think it is great that they are there though, it adds an additional element to the book. Thanks for sharing your opinions.Suzer6440 xyz wrote: ↑06 Jun 2021, 08:38 I appreciated how it was presented and did not dislike the way it was organized.for me it was like a summary of the book having the pictures and captions at the end. I get distracted when I read so I like the simplicity of being able to read straight thought and having things I need to look at like pictures and such at the end.

Exactly. When they are at the end they don't always make sense to me. I might not remember what they are referring to. Or, in some cases, I am just ready for the book to end so won't even bother to look at them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Raluca_Mihaila wrote: ↑06 Jun 2021, 09:25 I agree with your perspective! I like to look at the pictures or understand the references from a text while I am reading about it. It makes more sense to me.

I agree that the pictures at the end were a surprise. I had not really thought about them being distracting, like the ones of her illness. To me, I still prefer them in context because I then understand them better. But, I think it was nice they were included regardless of where they were. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

That's what I think too! It is harder for me to picture the event, unless it is right there. By the time I got to the pictures I was ready to be done with the book, and I couldn't remember the author talking about everything pictured. I know it is personal preference, but that is what I prefer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.Ahbed Nadir wrote: ↑07 Jun 2021, 04:47 I would prefer them to be in the story located below or near their respective descriptions so as to provide an appropriate context for the picture that helps readers to understand it better.

Yeah, it is really one of those things that are personal preferences. Some prefer with text, some after, and some don't care one way or the other. I just prefer them as I am reading. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.joynob24365 wrote: ↑07 Jun 2021, 19:15 Both are okay but in context, it helps one understand the book better. It may depend on your taste. Seeing the pictures at the end was great because it was organized while giving an overview of the book.

Hi, thanks for sharing your opinions. I actually prefer them as I am reading, as to me they make more sense in context. I understand that for others it might break the flow of reading, or prove a distraction, but for me, it is just easier. I guess too, it depends on the content of the book.

Yes, plus for more complicated stuff it can help you to understand better. By the time you get to the end of the book (or the middle where some authors do it), you might not remember the specific thing the picture is referring to. For me, I then don't want to go back and figure it out, so I might just skip the pictures altogether. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
