First of all I would have to say that Frank's "stop time" was a very interesting piece of writing. I am a very slow reader and to this date I didn't completely read any novel. It has always been very hard for me to get interested in novels; I would start and just get bored by the time first chapter was complete and then never go back to reading it.
