Tom Outland

I'm growing really curious as to how Tom Outland's role is going to play out in this book, if it does at all. After learning so much about his character when he first entered St. Peter's and his family's lives, it interested me as to his background and where he came from. Obviously he came from the West and has that mind-set, which plays into this class very well. He was known to tell the daughters all of his stories, and it is clear that their imaginations ran wild about the place he came from. It only makes sense that these types of characters were what made the West seem so romantic and adventurous. So...yeah, I'm just really interested in Tom's character now. I should also point out that St. Peter also has become more and more interesting of a person to read about. The way he acts compared to his family makes it difficult to see the relationships they have. This book definately reveals itself as you keep reading.
