But overall, it's not bad still and you can either flip back to add it up pr just skip it while reading.

Those were my thoughts as well. I do not always remember what is happening in a story, especially if it takes several days to get through, so by the time I get to the end and there are pictures, they are pretty meaningless to me. I will either skim them or skip them. I know that's not how it is for everyone, but it is my preference. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I agree completely. If it has taken me several days to finish a book, by the time I get to the end I may not remember what the pictures are referring to. I appreciate the author wanting to include them, but personally just prefer them to be in context. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

That would have been a great idea too. I would have been okay with that as well, otherwise, I would prefer them to be in context. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

While I do prefer them in context, I do think it was nice that the author included them at all. Another reader pointed out that it would have been helpful to have footnotes with them at the end of the book so you could easily flip back to the location. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.Abisolalawal wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 13:47 I agree with you. I prefer if the pictures follow the text so I get the link straight up than all piled up at the end and have me flip back sometimes to connect the dots.

Another reader stated footnotes with the pictures would have helped you to easily refer back to the section of the book that the pictures referred to. I like that idea too. I do appreciate the fact that the author included the pictures. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Ruth Naomi wrote: ↑19 Jun 2021, 05:56 Actually, that's the only thing I despised about the book. I'd have preferred, as you said, the pictures to be included at the specific topic of discussion. Pictures at the end made it look somewhat unprofessional and a bit monotonous.

I do as well. I agree the images can be different than the ones we pictured in our head, and then finding the pictures at the end are annoying. I also agree, if I don't like the ending I will not bother with the pictures. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.the_invaded_privacy wrote: ↑19 Jun 2021, 06:38 As a reader who likes to relate with the reader's imagination, I prefer pictures in the context. I hate it when I realize that the two of us had different images in our heads when initially I was onto something else. Besides, if the ending is somehow upsetting, I wouldn't even bother looking through the images at the end.

Exactly, and on a Kindle, there is no flipping, it is trying to find the place that the picture is talking about! It is not easy. Plus, if it takes you a while to read the book you don't remember what the picture is referring too anyway. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
