3. Actually I enjoy her narrative style.

The story is easy to follow and the characters are likeable. The way she writes leads me to believe there is more to it than just the first level narrative. Rolph's concern about the fate of the lion cubs, Rhea's worry about when she'll become a real punk, Charlie's looking back through time at a moment in Rolph's life, all indicate a deep understanding of people and how they experience life.

I realize that my summary is a bit confusing. It really was meant to convey the number of threads I see in the story and how I was trying to track them all.
