One of the key aspects of Doerr’s novel is his usage of two alternating main characters who - until later in the book - have entirely separate story arcs. Using an alternative way of storytelling is important because it shows the reader that there are different ways to write novels with deviations from the boring, sequential, one-timeline novel. Additionally, this use of simultaneous timelines is effective in keeping the reader interested. Each chapter ends a cliffhanger, keeping the reader on the edge of their seats engaged in the novel.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of four novels written about his world famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. However, unlike the other books written about Sherlock Holmes, much of The Hound of the Baskervilles is absent of the detective. Instead, the audience is left to work through the mystery of who murdered Mr. Baskerville with Sherlock Holmes’ assistant and friend, as well as the narrator of the novel, Dr. John Watson. There are multiple reasons Doyle may have decided to make Watson the narrator, and to remove Holmes from a large portion of the novel. First, as Holmes is such a dry and clinical person, by making Watson the narrator, Doyle is able to employ more descriptive and entertaining writing. Second,
