10. Who tells the story? Is this the best person to tell it? Why?

One of the characters from the novel, Titus, tells us the story from his point of view. The answer to whether or not he is the best person to actually hear the story from is definitely questionable. My honest opinion; I want to read a book from the point of view of someone boring, or not of high status in the Novel. This gives room to shed more light on the more important or more interesting things that are going on.

There are only two other people I'd rather hear the story from; Violet or Loga. From what I've read, Violet is extremely admirable and smart. She is looked at as some type of perfection by Link, Marty and Titus because of her good looks and intelligence. She explains to Titus about how her father is a college professor who teaches the "dead languages" and how she knows how to speak some of them here-and-there as well. Titus narrates, "When i asked her what her dad did, she said, "hHe's a college professor. He teaches the dead languages". The only reason that I wouldn't want Violet to tell the story is because she fits in with everyone else. She has too much stuff going on that she would also have to narrate herself, too, which makes me kind of uneasy.

Loga, on the other hand, is very different from the rest and my number one choice to tell this story (other than Titus). Logan is an old flame of Titus, but they remained friends. So Loga is part of that group of friends, but she lacks one little thing that the rest of the group has in common; her feed was never hacked by the Hacker in the Rumble Club. That event changed everyone and because Loga didn't share that t experience with them, she is figuratively detached from he friends. I believe that seeing and reading the story in her point of view would be just as intriguing to me as it is the way Titus is telling it, if not better.
