Life A User's Manual

The description given in Life A User's Manual was slightly confusing to me at first. I didn't quite understand how a puzzle or game could be used to tell a story, and I get where the apartment building came in to play. I guess I still really don't get that part. But when the writer explained his method by using the smaller square and how he could put that information into three chapters, I began to understand. This would seem interesting to me if I could actually do it and come up with something like the author did. His writing is obviously much longer and more complex than i think i could ever come up with, but he did work on it for a very long time.

I enjoyed reading about the jigsaw puzzle technique. I never would have thought of a jegsaw puzzle as a way to tell a story. Now, I'm going to be looking at a jigsaw puzzle in an entirely different way the next time I attempt to put one together.
