But, may I ask a question? Were you using ampersands purposefully in the review to demonstrate why you found them distracting in the book? Because I frankly did not notice them at all, until after you had mentioned them, after which they stuck out like sore thumbs, and I had to go back to the beginning and verify that you'd been using them all along. It's funny how things jump out at you, once you notice them. I wonder if they will bother me in the book, knowing that they're there. I can’t wait to read this book! But, may I ask a question?
