Response to Kobe's Post:

I had not really noticed that the book appears to lack a central plot line. After reading his blog post I did notice that at some points while I was reading I felt a bit disconnected from what was happening which is probably an effect of the lack in central plot. After giving it thought the points where I have been most interested were the ceremonies and different cultural things which do not a need central plot line to be interesting. Good point Dellers.
