The narrative 'we' is great. It's not as common which makes you appreciate it a bit more. I think it does an excellent job of making the reader feel as if they were part of the 'we' as well, waiting to see the story unravel from different pieces of information, much similar to how the boys must felt when collaborating this story after the tragic suicides.

The narrator's characteristics vary from very adolescent to a mature man's point of view. I like it but i also find it a bit confusing at times. It's like the boys views from various points in time are sorta strung together in chronological order in the book while retelling in order. Does this make sense? The narrator IS another character in the novel... sounds silly but i find truth in it.

That's all i've got for now. thoughts?
